Implementation Reference
- local-ai-server.js:233-258 (handler)The primary handler function for the 'model_list' tool. Fetches the list of available models from the Ollama API at /api/tags, formats them with size and modified time, and returns a formatted text response.async getModelList() { try { const response = await fetch(`${this.ollamaUrl}/api/tags`); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(`Ollama API error: ${response.status}`); } const data = await response.json(); const modelList = data.models.map(model => ({ name: model.name, size: this.formatBytes(model.size), modified: model.modified_at })); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Available Local Models:\n\n${JSON.stringify(modelList, null, 2)}` } ] }; } catch (error) { throw new Error(`Failed to get model list: ${error.message}`); }
- local-ai-server.js:84-88 (schema)Input schema for the 'model_list' tool, which is an empty object since no parameters are required.inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, required: [] }
- local-ai-server.js:81-89 (registration)Registration of the 'model_list' tool in the ListToolsRequestHandler response, including name, description, and input schema.{ name: 'model_list', description: 'List available local AI models', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, required: [] } },
- local-ai-server.js:152-153 (handler)Dispatch case in CallToolRequestHandler that invokes the getModelList handler for 'model_list' tool calls.case 'model_list': return await this.getModelList();
- local-ai-server.js:340-346 (helper)Helper function used by getModelList to format model file sizes from bytes to human-readable format.formatBytes(bytes) { if (bytes === 0) return '0 Bytes'; const k = 1024; const sizes = ['Bytes', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB']; const i = Math.floor(Math.log(bytes) / Math.log(k)); return parseFloat((bytes / Math.pow(k, i)).toFixed(2)) + ' ' + sizes[i]; }
