Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function that executes the set_price_alert tool logic: calls the API to create a price alert, handles success/error, and formats a detailed response with alert info.
    export async function executeSetPriceAlert( client: SuperPrecioApiClient, args: { productName: string; targetPrice: number; barcode?: string; userId?: number; notifyEnabled?: boolean; } ) { const response = await client.createPriceAlert(args); if (!response.success) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Failed to create price alert: ${response.message || 'Unknown error'}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } const alert = response.data; const summary = ` 🔔 Price Alert Created Successfully! 📦 Product: ${alert.productName} ${alert.barcode ? `🏷️ Barcode: ${alert.barcode}` : ''} 🎯 Target Price: $${alert.targetPrice.toLocaleString('es-AR')} 🆔 Alert ID: ${alert.id} ${alert.notifyEnabled ? '✅ Notifications: Enabled' : '🔕 Notifications: Disabled'} 📅 Created: ${new Date(alert.createdAt).toLocaleDateString('es-AR')} What happens now: 1. We'll search for this product across all supermarkets 2. When the price drops to $${alert.targetPrice} or below, you'll be notified 3. Use get_my_alerts to check the status anytime 4. Use remove_price_alert to cancel this alert 💡 Tip: Run check_alert_status periodically to see current prices! `; return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: summary, }, { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2), }, ], }; }
  • Defines the tool metadata including name 'set_price_alert', description, and inputSchema for parameter validation (productName, targetPrice required; barcode, userId, notifyEnabled optional).
    export const setPriceAlertTool = { name: 'set_price_alert', description: `Set a personalized price alert for a product. Get notified when a product reaches your target price!
