Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

FAQ

Questions United Airlines owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I track a specific United Airlines flight in real-time?

    Yes! Use the get_flight_status capability with the flight number (just the numeric part, e.g., "123" for UA123). You'll receive live status updates including departure/arrival times, gate, terminal, baggage belt, and whether the flight is scheduled, active, landed, delayed, or cancelled.

  • 02

    How can I see all United flights departing from a specific airport today?

    Use the get_departures capability with the airport's IATA code (e.g., "SFO" for San Francisco, "EWR" for Newark). Optionally provide a date in YYYY-MM-DD format. This returns all United departures with flight numbers, destinations, times, gates, and current status.

  • 03

    Can I check if United Airlines operates a route between two specific airports?

    Absolutely! Use the get_route capability with the origin and destination airport IATA codes (e.g., from_iata="SFO", to_iata="LHR"). It will tell you if United serves that route and provide route details including codeshare information.

  • 04

    Can I find all delayed or cancelled United flights at an airport?

    Yes! Use the get_flights_by_status capability with the airport IATA code, set status to "delayed" or "cancelled", and specify "departure" or "arrival". This is invaluable for assessing operational disruptions and planning alternatives.

  • 05

    Can I review historical flight performance to check if a route is typically on-time?

    Yes! Use the get_flight_history capability with the airport IATA code, a past date in YYYY-MM-DD format, and "departure" or "arrival" type. You'll see actual vs scheduled times, delays, and cancellations to analyze punctuality patterns.
