Flight Disruption Assistant

Execute

1. Extract the flight identifier or airport, direction, date, time window, and whether live position is needed. Resolve relative dates to an explicit YYYY-MM-DD in the airport’s local time; ask only when ambiguity changes the lookup. Done when: the request maps to a documented operation.

2. Read https://airnode-aerodatabox.fly.dev/ once per run and use only current documented operations and parameters. Data lookups must POST JSON shaped as {"operation":"<operation>","parameters":{...}} to the same root; GET only reads documentation. Done when: the POST contract and signer address are known.

3. AeroDataBox is metered and its documentation may not state an exact per-call price. Before POSTing, state the operations and maximum call count and obtain explicit approval. Never infer approval from the information request. Done when: the bounded call plan is approved or declined.

4. Choose the smallest operation: flightStatus for the nearest operating date, flightStatusOnDate for a named local date, airportSchedule for a narrow arrival/departure board, searchAirportsByTerm for an unknown airport code, airportFeedStatus for unexpectedly absent live data, or searchFlightNumbers for ambiguous flight text. Extra calls require remaining approval. Done when: the minimum approved POST set returns data or a concrete error.

5. Report only returned facts: status, route, scheduled and estimated/actual local times, terminal/gate, location when requested, and freshness. Calculate delay only from comparable returned timestamps and label it calculated. Never invent causes, compensation, rebooking, gates, or times. Done when: the disruption question is answered with uncertainty and freshness.

6. Retry once only for a transient error or a narrower valid request without exceeding the call limit. If approval is denied, state that no live lookup was made. Done when: sourced results or the exact blocker are reported.

Verification

Confirm all data calls used documented POST operations, stayed within the approved call count, and returned airnode, requestHash, timestamp, data, and signature. Cryptographically verify the documented request hash and EIP-191 signer when tooling is available; otherwise say Attestation not cryptographically verified. Confirm all reported facts came from data and all dates are explicit.
