Create and Manage MotherDuck Flights

Source Of Truth

Non-negotiable ordering: when MotherDuck MCP is available, call get_flight_guide before create_flight, update_flight, or edit_flight_source. The guide defines the current authoring contract, runtime limits, and tool semantics.
get_flight_guide also surfaces conventions from the reserved flights Guide topic. Apply those conventions when they fit the requested workload.
Prefer current MotherDuck Flights docs over memory. Verify lifecycle status, runtime limits, and tool semantics instead of preserving them as durable prompt claims.
Without MCP, the same operations exist as SQL functions (MD_CREATE_FLIGHT, MD_RUN_FLIGHT, MD_LIST_FLIGHTS(), ...) that execute server-side on a MotherDuck connection. Parameter names differ slightly between the two surfaces; see the naming table in references/FLIGHTS_GUIDE.md.
