"" : undefined, bio ? bio.slice(0, 1000) : undefined, `Profile: ${base}/u/${encodeURIComponent(username)}`, ].filter(Boolean) as string[]; return { content: [{ type: "text", text: lines.join("\n") }] }; } catch (e: any) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Failed to get user ${username}: ${e?.message || String(e)}` }], isError: true }; } }
