• aerospace_mcp/fastmcp_server.py:88-88 (registration)

  Registration of the get_system_status tool handler in the FastMCP server using the mcp.tool decorator/method.

  mcp.tool(get_system_status)

• aerospace_mcp/fastmcp_server.py:36-42 (registration)

  Import of the get_system_status function from tools.core module in the FastMCP server, necessary for registration.

  from .tools.core import (
      calculate_distance,
      get_aircraft_performance,
      get_system_status,
      plan_flight,
      search_airports,
