Implementation Reference
- The MCP tool handler for 'delete_chatmode'. Checks read-only mode, calls ChatModeManager.delete_chatmode, and returns formatted success or error message.def delete_chatmode( filename: Annotated[str, "The filename of the chatmode to delete (with or without extension)"], ) -> str: """Delete a VS Code .chatmode.md file from the prompts directory.""" if read_only: return "Error: Server is running in read-only mode" try: success = chatmode_manager.delete_chatmode(filename) if success: return f"Successfully deleted VS Code chatmode: {filename}" else: return f"Failed to delete VS Code chatmode: {filename}" except Exception as e: return f"Error deleting VS Code chatmode '{filename}': {str(e)}"
