Team-wide flight data tools

Commit your server config to the repo to ensure everyone uses the same `get_global_delays` endpoint. It keeps the team aligned on the same data source. When a developer needs current global stats, they just ask the agent. No more mismatched API versions or local setup drift.

Historical performance tracking

Use `get_global_delays_historical` to build trend reports for your team. It provides the data points necessary for long-term capacity planning. Instead of manual queries, the agent runs the tool and outputs the raw counts. You spend your time analyzing the trends, not gathering the data.

Subscription lifecycle control

Manage your team's alert infrastructure using `convert_alert_subscription`. It updates old setups to the new credit system seamlessly. Use `get_alert_subscription` to verify configurations across your dev environment. It ensures your alerting logic is consistent and functional.
