A4.1/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation4/5

The four tools have mostly distinct roles: search vs. page retrieval vs. ACS listing vs. ACS retrieval. The one weak boundary is between list_airman_certification_standards and airman_certification_standards, where the getter lacks a verb prefix and could be mistaken for a second listing tool, though the descriptions clarify the ID-based workflow.

Naming Consistency4/5

Three tools follow a clean verb_noun pattern (list_..., search_documents, get_page). airman_certification_standards breaks the pattern by omitting a verb, which is a minor but noticeable deviation in an otherwise consistent set.

Tool Count4/5

Four tools is on the lean side but appropriate for a document-retrieval server, with two generic search/read tools and two ACS-specific tools. Each tool earns its place, though the surface is small enough that a slight expansion would not feel bloated.

Completeness3/5

Reading flow (search → get_page with next/previous paging) is complete, and ACS retrieval supports area/task narrowing. However, full-text search appears limited to handbooks and circulars rather than ACS content, and there is no way to browse or list available documents, leaving gaps for discovery.

Available Tools

4 tools
airman_certification_standardsGet Airman Certification StandardA
Read-only
Inspect

Returns one FAA Airman Certification Standard (ACS) in full: every area of operation, each task with its objective, and every knowledge, risk management and skills element with its sub-elements and ACS codes (e.g. PA.I.A.K1a). Get the ID from list_airman_certification_standards. A whole ACS is large (a Private Pilot ACS is close to 1,000 elements), so pass areaOfOperation, and task if you can, when you only need part of it.

Inputs: acsId (required), task, areaOfOperation. Returns: counts, filter, standard, areasOfOperation

get_pageGet Document PageA
Read-only
Inspect

Returns one page of an FAA document from Aviation Resources: an image of the whole page plus the full text of the passages on it. Use it after search_documents to read a page in full or to see figures, charts and tables, or to read on with nextPageNumber / previousPageNumber. Cite the page with its viewerUrl.

Inputs: pageNumber (required), resourceId (required), includeImage. Returns: image, indexed, passages, resource, +5 more

list_airman_certification_standardsList Airman Certification StandardsA
Read-only
Inspect

Lists every FAA Airman Certification Standard (ACS) in Aviation Resources, such as Private Pilot - Airplane or Instrument Rating - Airplane, with its ID, whether it is ready for use, and how many areas of operation and tasks it has. Use this first to find the ACS a lesson is for.

Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: standards

search_documentsSearch FAA DocumentsA
Read-only
Inspect

Full-text search across the FAA handbooks, advisory circulars and other reference documents in Aviation Resources (for example the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Airplane Flying Handbook, Instrument Flying Handbook, Aviation Weather and the Weight & Balance Handbook). Returns the best-matching documents, each with its best pages and short snippets. Use it to find where a topic is covered, then call get_page to read a page in full or see its figures. Cite pages with their viewerUrl.

Inputs: query (required), limit, offset, resourceIds, +1 more. Returns: query, results, pagination
