Implementation Reference
- Core implementation of get_context: locates the target element using find_by_path and constructs a context dictionary with the current element and its immediate before/after siblings.def get_context(self, path: str) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Get element and its neighbors""" target = self.find_by_path(path) if not target: return {"error": "Not found"} siblings = target.parent.children if target.parent else self.elements idx = siblings.index(target) context = { "current": {"path": target.path, "content": target.content}, "before": None, "after": None } if idx > 0: context["before"] = {"path": siblings[idx-1].path, "content": siblings[idx-1].content[:200]} if idx < len(siblings) - 1: context["after"] = {"path": siblings[idx+1].path, "content": siblings[idx+1].content[:200]} return context
- Input/output schema definition for the 'get_context' tool, specifying parameters file_path and path, and returning target, before, after objects.inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": { "file_path": { "type": "string", "examples": ["./document.md"] }, "path": { "type": "string", "description": "Path to the element (e.g., 'Intro > paragraph 1')", "examples": ["Introduction > paragraph 2", "Conclusion"] } }, "required": ["file_path", "path"], "additionalProperties": False }, outputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": { "target": {"type": "object", "description": "The target element"}, "before": {"type": "object", "description": "Element before target"}, "after": {"type": "object", "description": "Element after target"} } }

- src/markdown_editor/server.py:554-556 (handler)Dispatch handler in call_tool that routes 'get_context' calls to the get_element_context function from edit_tools.elif name == "get_context": res = await get_element_context(file_path, arguments["path"]) return {"content": [TextContent(type="text", text="Context extracted")], "structuredContent": res, "isError": "error" in res}
- Top-level async wrapper that delegates to EditTool instance's get_context method.async def get_element_context(file_path: str, path: str): return await _instance.get_context(file_path, path)
