Implementation Reference
- Main handler function for the 'get_airfoil_database' tool. Imports AIRFOIL_DATABASE from integrations and returns it as a formatted JSON string.def get_airfoil_database() -> str: """Get available airfoil database with aerodynamic coefficients. Returns: JSON string with airfoil database """ try: from ..integrations.aero import AIRFOIL_DATABASE return json.dumps(AIRFOIL_DATABASE, indent=2) except ImportError: return "Airfoil database not available" except Exception as e: logger.error(f"Airfoil database error: {str(e)}", exc_info=True) return f"Airfoil database error: {str(e)}"
