Description, as the server wrote it
For a US ZIP code or latitude/longitude: the FAA airspace class at drone altitudes (0-400 ft AGL), the controlled airspace overhead, and the FAA UAS Facility Map (LAANC) ceiling if the point is on the grid, with a one-sentence plain-English verdict under 14 CFR Part 107. Uses FAA Class Airspace and UAS Facility Map data and USGS elevation. Checks one point only — not TFRs, NOTAMs or special-use airspace.

10 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
