FAA Advisory Circular MCP

by parissharpe

set_airport_profile

Configure your airport profile by specifying airport name, type (Part 139 commercial service or general aviation), FAA/ICAO identifiers, and an optional export folder path.

Instructions

Set or update your airport profile. Stores your airport name, identifier, type (Part 139 commercial service or general aviation), and optionally a folder path for saving exported files.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesAirport name (e.g., 'Montaukett Regional Airport')

save_folderNoAbsolute folder path where exported AC summaries and bookmark reports should be saved (e.g., 'C:/Users/paris/Desktop/my-airport-acs'). Leave blank for chat-only mode.
airport_typeYespart139 = FAA-certificated commercial service airport | general_aviation = GA airport | both = serves both
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral traits. It discloses that the tool stores profile data and optionally a save folder, but does not mention whether the operation is destructive, if it overwrites existing data, or any permission/rate limit requirements. This lack of detail for a mutation tool is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise with two sentences. The first sentence states the core action, and the second lists the stored fields. No unnecessary words, making it efficient and front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers input fields well but omits crucial contextual details such as return value (e.g., success message, updated profile), error conditions, or whether the operation is idempotent. For a mutation tool with no output schema, this is a moderate gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptive parameter descriptions. The tool's description summarizes the parameters but does not add new constraints or clarifications beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's action ('Set or update your airport profile') and specifies the stored fields (name, identifier, type, folder). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_airport_profile (for reading) and export tools (for exporting).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies when to use this tool (to create or update the airport profile) but does not explicitly provide when-not-to-use or alternatives. Since the sibling 'get_airport_profile' is for reading, the usage context is clear enough.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
