🟢get_travel_advice(country, section)
Use this when the user asks about the official travel advice, safety warnings or entry requirements for one country, such as "is it safe to travel to Thailand?" or "what are the entry requirements for Japan?". Returns: the UK FCDO alert (which parts of the country it advises against travelling to) with its review date and latest change, and the US State Department level (1 to 4), summary and date, with official links. Input tips: pass one country name or two-letter ISO code; set section to entry-requirements, safety or health to add that part of the UK advice. If status is ambiguous, ask the user to pick one of candidates and call again with that name. If uk or us is none or unavailable, report the other side and its link; do not guess. Not for: visa rules for other passports (UK advice is for British citizens, US advice for US citizens), medical advice, or calling a country safe in your own words.

}🟢get_airport_status(airport)
Use this when the user asks about airport delays, closures or weather right now, such as "is JFK delayed?" or "what is the weather at Heathrow?". Returns: active FAA delays, ground stops and closures with reason and times (US airports only), the latest METAR observation (flight category, temperature, wind, visibility) and the raw TAF forecast. Input tips: pass the four-letter ICAO code (EGLL) for an airport outside the US, or the IATA code (JFK) for a US airport. If status is not_found, ask the user for the ICAO code and call again. Not for: looking up a flight by number (such as BA117), schedules, seats or whether a flight will leave on time, or for flight planning.

}🟢compare_advisories(countries)
Use this when the user wants to compare the travel advice for several countries side by side, such as "compare Mexico, Colombia and Peru" or "which of these countries has the highest advisory level?". Returns: for each country the UK FCDO alert and review date and the US State Department level (1 to 4) and date, with official links. Input tips: pass 1 to 5 country names or ISO codes. Check each country's own status: one can be not_found, or ambiguous with candidates to ask the user about, while the rest are ok. If uk or us is none or unavailable for a country, report the other side and its link; do not guess. Not for: the full text of one country (use get_travel_advice) or visa rules for other passports. UK advice is for British citizens and US advice for US citizens.
