Implementation Reference

• src/mcp/tools/get-zones.ts:56-271 (handler)

  The tool `aroflo_get_locations` is dynamically registered within the `registerZoneGetTools` function. The `toolName` is constructed as `aroflo_get_${zoneToToolSuffix(zone)}`, where `zone` is "Locations" from the `AROFLO_ZONES` array. The handler logic (lines 77-270) performs the API query, pagination, optional compacting, and returning the result.

    toolName,
