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`,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
