Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:423-444 (handler)The switch case that handles execution of the 'edit_message' tool. It destructures arguments, calls TelegramBot's editMessageText method with chat_id (CHANNEL_ID), message_id, text, and parse_mode, then returns a formatted success response.case 'edit_message': { const { message_id, text, parse_mode = 'HTML' } = args as { message_id: number; text: string; parse_mode?: string; }; const result = await bot.editMessageText(text, { chat_id: CHANNEL_ID, message_id, parse_mode: parse_mode as any, }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `✅ Message edited successfully!\n\n📱 Channel: ${CHANNEL_ID}\n📝 Message ID: ${message_id}\n📄 New Text: ${text}`, }, ], }; }
- src/index.ts:151-173 (registration)The tool registration entry in the ListToolsRequestSchema response array, defining name, description, and inputSchema for 'edit_message'.{ name: 'edit_message', description: 'Edit an existing message', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { message_id: { type: 'number', description: 'ID of the message to edit', }, text: { type: 'string', description: 'New message text', }, parse_mode: { type: 'string', enum: ['HTML', 'Markdown'], description: 'Parse mode for the message', }, }, required: ['message_id', 'text'], }, },
