There is no saying that they will expose more functionality through the MCP API than their web site. I imagine the API will be more limited.

No, but let me be more specific.

For example, when I search for flights, there might be situational things (like, "can you please find me a flight that has at least a 2 hour layover at <X> airport because last time i had a hard time finding the new terminal" etc.

Or an agent that will actually even READ that information from the airport website to see notices like "expect long delays in the next 3 months as we renovate Terminal 3"

Right?

The agent could have this information, and then actually look at the flight arrival/departure times and actually filter them through.

Other things like, "I can do a tuesday if cheaper, or, look through my calendar to see if i have any important meetings that day and then decide if i can pick that day to save $400"

These are all things that synthesize multiple pieces of data to ultimately arrive at something as simple as a date filter.
