End-to-end flight mission execution

Tell Cline to start a flight, and it will use `list_waylines` to find your target route and `create_mission` to initiate the sequence. It manages the entire workflow without requiring manual input for every step. During the flight, the agent keeps an eye on the progress using `get_mission_status`. If the mission hits a snag, you get an immediate report on what went wrong.

Automated drone telemetry tracking

Cline pulls live flight data using `get_device_osd` to keep you updated on altitude, heading, and battery levels. It translates this raw data into clear status updates within your chat window. If the drone reports an error, the agent runs `get_hms_stats` to identify the cause. It provides the specific alert codes so you can troubleshoot hardware issues before they become critical.

Integrated media and device control

Fetch media files from your drone by running `list_media_files` through the Cline interface. The agent handles the `get_media_upload_url` request so you can download captured photos or videos immediately. Managing your fleet is simple when you use `list_devices` to see what is currently online. Cline verifies your hardware state and checks `get_firmware_info` to ensure everything is running the latest software.
