Implementation Reference

  • The primary MCP tool handler for 'get_pending_commands'. Retrieves pending commands from CommandService and serializes them to JSON in the MCP response format.
    private async handleGetPendingCommands() { const pendingCommands = this.commandService.getPendingCommands(); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify( pendingCommands.map((cmd) => ({ id: cmd.id, command: cmd.command, args: cmd.args, requestedAt: cmd.requestedAt, requestedBy: cmd.requestedBy, })), null, 2, ), }, ], }; }
  • src/index.ts:175-182 (registration)
    Tool registration entry in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler, specifying name, description, and empty input schema.
    { name: 'get_pending_commands', description: 'Get the list of commands pending approval', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, },
  • TypeScript interface defining the structure of pending commands returned by the tool.
    export interface PendingCommand { /** Unique ID for the command */ id: string; /** The command to execute */ command: string; /** Arguments for the command */ args: string[]; /** When the command was requested */ requestedAt: Date; /** Who requested the command */ requestedBy?: string; /** Resolve function to call when approved */ resolve: (value: { stdout: string; stderr: string }) => void; /** Reject function to call when denied */ reject: (reason: Error) => void; }
  • Helper method in CommandService that extracts and returns the list of pending commands from internal state.
    public getPendingCommands(): PendingCommand[] { return Array.from(this.pendingCommands.values()); }
  • src/index.ts:234-235 (registration)
    Dispatch case in CallToolRequestSchema handler that routes 'get_pending_commands' calls to the specific handler method.
    case 'get_pending_commands': return await this.handleGetPendingCommands();
