Server tool list (9)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search_accidents | Search the merged aviation-accident corpus (80+ official agencies, occurrence-level dedup). Filters: aircraft family slug (e.g. "boeing-737"), ISO alpha-2 country, occurrence type, operator substring, date range (from/to as YYYY-MM-DD), and fatal-only. Returns a page of occurrences with source-attribution links and a next_cursor for pagination. |
| get_accident | Fetch one occurrence by its FlightFinder id, with source-attribution links and references to the narratives available for it. |
| get_narrative | Fetch an investigation narrative by (source, case id). Open-licensed sources return full text; others return a ≤300-char excerpt plus a source_url deep link (per-source licensing policy). id URL-encoding is handled for you — pass the raw case id. |
| aircraft_safety | Aggregate safety statistics for an aircraft family: total occurrences, hull losses, fatal accidents, total fatalities, and first/latest year. |
| list_sources | List every data source in the corpus with its license, homepage, narrative count, and republication policy (full vs excerpt). |
| airport_reference | Resolve an airport by ICAO ident or IATA code (OurAirports, CC0). Returns name, city, country, and coordinates. |
| wildlife_strikes | FAA National Wildlife Strike Database (US-government public domain). With no arguments: global totals, the full yearly series since 1990, and the leading airports, species and flight phases. Pass airport OR species for that breakdown. Slugs are lowercase and hyphenated (e.g. "kden", "mourning-dove"). |
| laser_incidents | FAA Reported Laser Incidents — lasers aimed at aircraft (US-government public domain). With no arguments: national totals, injuries and the yearly series. Pass state OR airport for that breakdown, as a lowercase hyphenated slug. |
| drone_sightings | FAA UAS (drone) Sighting Reports filed by pilots and controllers (US-government public domain). With no arguments: national totals, the yearly series and the leading states and cities. Pass state for that breakdown, as a lowercase hyphenated slug. |
