tables_db_create_enum_column
Add an enumeration column to a database table by defining a list of allowed values. This tool restricts column entries to specified options and configures requirements, defaults, and array settings.
Instructions
Create an enumeration column. The elements param acts as a white-list of accepted values for this column.

Implementation Reference
- Generic MCP tool execution handler. Retrieves the tool implementation (Appwrite SDK method for tables_db_create_enum_column) from the registry and invokes it with user-provided arguments, handling errors and formatting the response.@server.call_tool() async def handle_call_tool( name: str, arguments: dict | None ) -> list[types.TextContent | types.ImageContent | types.EmbeddedResource]: try: tool_info = tools_manager.get_tool(name) if not tool_info: raise McpError(f"Tool {name} not found") bound_method = tool_info["function"] result = bound_method(**(arguments or {})) if hasattr(result, 'to_dict'): result_dict = result.to_dict() return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(result_dict))] return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(result))] except AppwriteException as e: return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Appwrite Error: {str(e)}")] except Exception as e: return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Error: {str(e)}")]
- Dynamically generates tool definitions including input schemas and descriptions for all methods in the TablesDB service, creating the 'tables_db_create_enum_column' tool schema from the Appwrite SDK method inspection.def list_tools(self) -> Dict[str, Dict]: """Lists all available tools for this service""" tools = {} for name, func in inspect.getmembers(self.service, predicate=inspect.ismethod): if name.startswith('_'): # Skip private methods continue original_func = func.__func__ # Skip if not from the service's module if original_func.__module__ != self.service.__class__.__module__: continue # Get the overridden name if it exists tool_name = self._method_name_overrides.get(name, f"{self.service_name}_{name}") docstring = parse(original_func.__doc__) signature = inspect.signature(original_func) type_hints = get_type_hints(original_func) properties = {} required = [] for param_name, param in signature.parameters.items(): if param_name == 'self': continue param_type = type_hints.get(param_name, str) properties[param_name] = self.python_type_to_json_schema(param_type) properties[param_name]["description"] = f"Parameter '{param_name}'" for doc_param in docstring.params: if doc_param.arg_name == param_name: properties[param_name]["description"] = doc_param.description if param.default is param.empty: required.append(param_name) tool_definition = Tool( name=tool_name, description=f"{docstring.short_description or "No description available"}", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": properties, "required": required } ) tools[tool_name] = { "definition": tool_definition, "function": func } return tools
