Implementation Reference

• src/utils/linked-api-tool.ts:36-58 (handler)

  Core handler logic for executing the 'search_people' tool. Finds the operation by name (OPERATION_NAME.searchPeople) and calls it with validated params via executeWithProgress.
  export abstract class OperationTool<TParams, TResult> extends LinkedApiTool<TParams, TResult> { public abstract readonly operationName: TOperationName; public override execute({ linkedapi, args, workflowTimeout, progressToken, }: { linkedapi: LinkedApi; args: TParams; workflowTimeout: number; progressToken?: string | number; }): Promise<TMappedResponse<TResult>> { const operation = linkedapi.operations.find( (operation) => operation.operationName === this.operationName, )! as Operation<TParams, TResult>; return executeWithProgress(this.progressCallback, operation, workflowTimeout, { params: args, progressToken, }); } }
• src/tools/search-people.ts:10-25 (schema)

  Zod schema for input validation of search_people tool parameters.
  protected override readonly schema = z.object({ term: z.string().optional(), limit: z.number().min(1).max(1000).optional(), filter: z .object({ firstName: z.string().optional(), lastName: z.string().optional(), position: z.string().optional(), locations: z.array(z.string()).optional(), industries: z.array(z.string()).optional(), currentCompanies: z.array(z.string()).optional(), previousCompanies: z.array(z.string()).optional(), schools: z.array(z.string()).optional(), }) .optional(), });
• src/tools/search-people.ts:7-97 (handler)

  SearchPeopleTool class: defines tool name 'search_people', operationName, Zod schema, and detailed inputSchema for MCP tool interface. Inherits execute handler from OperationTool.
  export class SearchPeopleTool extends OperationTool<TSearchPeopleParams, unknown> { public override readonly name = 'search_people'; public override readonly operationName = OPERATION_NAME.searchPeople; protected override readonly schema = z.object({ term: z.string().optional(), limit: z.number().min(1).max(1000).optional(), filter: z .object({ firstName: z.string().optional(), lastName: z.string().optional(), position: z.string().optional(), locations: z.array(z.string()).optional(), industries: z.array(z.string()).optional(), currentCompanies: z.array(z.string()).optional(), previousCompanies: z.array(z.string()).optional(), schools: z.array(z.string()).optional(), }) .optional(), }); public override getTool(): Tool { return { name: this.name, description: 'Allows you to search people applying various filtering criteria (st.searchPeople action).', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { term: { type: 'string', description: 'Optional. Keyword or phrase to search.', }, limit: { type: 'number', description: 'Optional. Number of search results to return. Defaults to 10, with a maximum value of 1000.', }, filter: { type: 'object', description: 'Optional. Object that specifies filtering criteria for people. When multiple filter fields are specified, they are combined using AND logic.', properties: { firstName: { type: 'string', description: 'Optional. First name of person.', }, lastName: { type: 'string', description: 'Optional. Last name of person.', }, position: { type: 'string', description: 'Optional. Job position of person.', }, locations: { type: 'array', description: 'Optional. Array of free-form strings representing locations. Matches if person is located in any of the listed locations.', items: { type: 'string' }, }, industries: { type: 'array', description: 'Optional. Array of enums representing industries. Matches if person works in any of the listed industries. Takes specific values available in the LinkedIn interface.', items: { type: 'string' }, }, currentCompanies: { type: 'array', description: 'Optional. Array of company names. Matches if person currently works at any of the listed companies.', items: { type: 'string' }, }, previousCompanies: { type: 'array', description: 'Optional. Array of company names. Matches if person previously worked at any of the listed companies.', items: { type: 'string' }, }, schools: { type: 'array', description: 'Optional. Array of institution names. Matches if person currently attends or previously attended any of the listed institutions.', items: { type: 'string' }, }, }, }, }, }, }; } }
