Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1152-1154 (handler)Handler function that executes the tool logic for 'search_by_target'. Currently a placeholder that returns a 'not yet implemented' message.private async handleSearchByTarget(args: any) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Target search not yet implemented', args }, null, 2) }] }; }
- src/index.ts:615-623 (schema)Input schema defining parameters for the 'search_by_target' tool: target (required), activity_type, max_records.inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { target: { type: 'string', description: 'Target name (gene, protein, or pathway)' }, activity_type: { type: 'string', description: 'Type of activity (e.g., IC50, EC50, Ki)' }, max_records: { type: 'number', description: 'Maximum number of results (1-1000, default: 100)', minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 }, }, required: ['target'], },
- src/index.ts:612-624 (registration)Tool registration object passed to server.setTools(), defining name, description, and schema for 'search_by_target'.{ name: 'search_by_target', description: 'Find compounds tested against a specific biological target', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { target: { type: 'string', description: 'Target name (gene, protein, or pathway)' }, activity_type: { type: 'string', description: 'Type of activity (e.g., IC50, EC50, Ki)' }, max_records: { type: 'number', description: 'Maximum number of results (1-1000, default: 100)', minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 }, }, required: ['target'], }, },
- src/index.ts:786-787 (registration)Switch case in request handler that dispatches calls to the 'search_by_target' handler function.case 'search_by_target': return await this.handleSearchByTarget(args);
