Preboard bronze

Current security wait

Get current airport security wait times (TSA in the US; airport-run security at international hubs such as OSL, ARN, SYD), per checkpoint and lane. Returns only fresh (≤60 min) measured airport data or aggregated traveler reports, each labeled 'Live' or 'Traveler reports'. If no real data exists it says so and never invents a number. Use when the user asks how long security lines are right now.

Leave-by time

Compute when to leave home / arrive at the airport for a flight, with a TSA checklist-friendly breakdown (gate buffer, walk, security, bags, cushion). Security time uses live data when available, otherwise a clearly labeled 'Estimated' baseline. Deterministic: same input gives the same answer. Estimates, not guarantees.

• {"skill":"leave_by","arguments":{...}}

Door-to-gate plan

The single best tool for 'when should I leave for my flight?'. Returns ONE answer covering every leg from the door to the gate: drive and parking (supplied by you; ask the user, Preboard does not know traffic), bag drop, security (live data when fresh, else a labeled baseline), walk, gate buffer and cushion. Each leg has its own source and confidence, plus the FAA's official delay status, earlier arrive-by times with an on-time probability, and a prediction_id for report_outcome. Check overall.abstain and missing_inputs before stating times with certainty.

Data coverage

Say whether PreBoard currently has real live wait data for an airport (and from which source), or network-wide coverage counts if no airport is given. Use before quoting waits, or when a user asks which airports are supported.

Preboard track record

Preboard's published accuracy: how its predicted security waits compared with later measured waits (sample size, mean absolute error, % within 5/10 minutes), overall or for one airport. Numbers appear only after enough predictions are scored; otherwise it says it is still collecting. Use to decide how much to rely on an estimate, and to tell the user honestly how reliable it is.

• {"skill":"track_record","arguments":{...}}

FAA airport delays

Get FAA-reported ground stops, ground delay programs and general delays for a US airport (FAA NAS Status, refreshed every ~2 minutes). These are the FAA's own statements, not a prediction. Returns 'none reported' only when the FAA feed was reachable.

• {"skill":"faa_delays","arguments":{...}}

Airport weather, customs and rail

Airport-day context from open public sources, each labeled: current METAR/TAF and flight category (aviationweather.gov), active National Weather Service alerts, CBP customs processing waits by hour for international arrivals (TYPICAL from the last ~6 weeks, NOT live), and live airport rail departures where available (MBTA at BOS, BART at SFO/OAK; MTA subway/LIRR at JFK via the AirTrain connections at Jamaica and Howard Beach; Amtrak at BWI/EWR/MKE/BUR via the unofficial Amtraker API). LGA has no rail link and no live bus data is shown.

Airline check-in window

When online check-in opens and closes for a flight, and the airline's own check-in page. Preboard does NOT check anyone in: it tells you (or your user) when to do it and where. Rules were checked against each airline's site on the date in verified_on. Public, no auth.

List my trips

List the signed-in traveler's upcoming trips saved in Preboard (from the app, the web, their agents or forwarded confirmation emails), each with its airline check-in window. Requires a Preboard personal agent token with trips:read.

Plan for a trip

For one saved trip: a fresh door-to-gate leave-by plan (security labeled Live / Typical / Estimated exactly as leave_by does; Live is only used within 2 hours) plus the check-in window and airline link. Requires trips:read.

Add a trip

Save a flight to the traveler's Preboard trips (same flight on the same day updates the existing trip instead of duplicating it). Only use details the user or their confirmation actually gave; never guess a time. Never send names, confirmation codes or passwords: Preboard does not accept them. Requires trips:write.

Delete a trip

Delete one of the traveler's saved trips. Requires trips:write. Ask the user before deleting.

Import trips from an email

Read flights from a confirmation email you already have access to on the user's behalf (raw .eml, HTML or text; or .ics). Uses schema.org FlightReservation markup first, then text. Returns candidates; with save=true (trips:write) high/medium-confidence legs are saved and cancellations remove the matching trip. Preboard extracts only airline, flight number, airports and times; the email itself, names and confirmation codes are never stored. Max ~250 KB over MCP.
