Implementation Reference
- The core handler function implementing the 'failed_dags' tool. It performs an API request to fetch recently failed DAG runs (state=failed, limit=1000, ordered by start_date descending), processes the response to extract key run information, and returns a structured dictionary with the list of failed runs, total count, and query metadata.@mcp.tool() async def failed_dags() -> Dict[str, Any]: """[Tool Role]: Lists all recently failed DAG runs in the Airflow cluster.""" resp = await airflow_request("GET", "/dags/~/dagRuns?state=failed&limit=1000&order_by=-start_date") resp.raise_for_status() data = resp.json() failed_runs = [] for run in data.get("dag_runs", []): run_info = { "dag_id": run.get("dag_id"), "dag_display_name": run.get("dag_display_name"), "run_id": run.get("run_id"), "run_type": run.get("run_type"), "state": run.get("state"), "execution_date": run.get("execution_date"), "start_date": run.get("start_date"), "end_date": run.get("end_date"), "data_interval_start": run.get("data_interval_start"), "data_interval_end": run.get("data_interval_end"), "external_trigger": run.get("external_trigger"), "conf": run.get("conf"), "note": run.get("note") } failed_runs.append(run_info) return { "dag_runs": failed_runs, "total_failed": len(failed_runs), "query_info": { "state_filter": "failed", "limit": 1000, "order_by": "start_date (descending)" } }
