Implementation Reference

  • The handler for the 'send_control_character' tool. It extracts the 'letter' from arguments, simulates Ctrl+C on Windows using taskkill if letter is 'C', and returns a confirmation message.
    case 'send_control_character': { const { letter } = request.params.arguments as { letter: string }; // On Windows, we'll use taskkill to simulate Ctrl+C if (letter.toUpperCase() === 'C' && os.platform() === 'win32') { exec('taskkill /im node.exe /f'); } return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Sent Ctrl+${letter.toUpperCase()} signal`, }, ], }; }
  • src/index.ts:70-83 (registration)
    Registration of the 'send_control_character' tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema response, including name, description, and input schema definition.
