Implementation Reference
- src/mcp_debug_tool/server.py:373-441 (handler)Primary MCP handler for 'sessions_continue' tool. Validates input, calls SessionManager.continue_execution_async, and formats response as JSON.async def _handle_sessions_continue(self, arguments: dict) -> list[TextContent]: """ Handler for sessions_continue tool. Continues execution to the next breakpoint. """ try: session_id = arguments.get("sessionId") if not session_id: return [ TextContent( type="text", text=json.dumps({ "error": { "type": "ValueError", "message": "sessionId is required", } }), ) ] request = ContinueRequest( file=arguments["file"], line=arguments["line"], ) # Convert to BreakpointRequest (they have same structure) bp_request = BreakpointRequest( file=request.file, line=request.line, ) response = await self.session_manager.continue_execution_async( session_id, bp_request ) result = response.model_dump() return [ TextContent( type="text", text=json.dumps(result), ) ] except KeyError as e: return [ TextContent( type="text", text=json.dumps({ "error": { "type": "SessionNotFound", "message": str(e), } }), ) ] except Exception as e: logger.exception("Error continuing execution") return [ TextContent( type="text", text=json.dumps({ "error": { "type": type(e).__name__, "message": str(e), } }), ) ]

- Core continue_execution logic in SessionManager: validates state, dispatches to DAP or legacy BDB implementation.def continue_execution( self, session_id: str, request: BreakpointRequest ) -> BreakpointResponse: """ Continue execution to next breakpoint within same session.
