Implementation Reference

  • server.js:401-407 (registration)
    Dataset configuration specific to linkedin_people_search, defining inputs which determine the tool schema and name 'web_data_linkedin_people_search'.
    id: 'linkedin_people_search', dataset_id: 'gd_m8d03he47z8nwb5xc', description: [ 'Quickly read structured linkedin people search data', 'This can be a cache lookup, so it can be more reliable than scraping', ].join('\n'), inputs: ['url', 'first_name', 'last_name'],
  • Dynamic construction of Zod schema parameters for web_data_* tools based on dataset inputs (url: string.url(), first_name: string, last_name: string for this tool).
    let parameters = {}; for (let input of inputs) { let param_schema = input=='url' ? z.string().url() : z.string(); parameters[input] = defaults[input] !== undefined ? param_schema.default(defaults[input]) : param_schema; } addTool({ name: `web_data_${id}`, description, parameters: z.object(parameters),
  • Core handler logic shared across all web_data_* tools. Triggers dataset collection using the specific dataset_id, polls the API for completion up to 600 attempts, and returns the structured JSON data.
    execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${id}`, async(data, ctx)=>{ let trigger_response = await axios({ url: 'https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger', params: {dataset_id, include_errors: true}, method: 'POST', data: [data], headers: api_headers(), }); if (!trigger_response.data?.snapshot_id) throw new Error('No snapshot ID returned from request'); let snapshot_id = trigger_response.data.snapshot_id; console.error(`[web_data_${id}] triggered collection with ` +`snapshot ID: ${snapshot_id}`); let max_attempts = 600; let attempts = 0; while (attempts < max_attempts) { try { if (ctx && ctx.reportProgress) { await ctx.reportProgress({ progress: attempts, total: max_attempts, message: `Polling for data (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`, }); } let snapshot_response = await axios({ url: `https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3` +`/snapshot/${snapshot_id}`, params: {format: 'json'}, method: 'GET', headers: api_headers(), }); if (['running', 'building'].includes(snapshot_response.data?.status)) { console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot not ready, ` +`polling again (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); continue; } console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot data received ` +`after ${attempts + 1} attempts`); let result_data = JSON.stringify(snapshot_response.data); return result_data; } catch(e){ console.error(`[web_data_${id}] polling error: ` +`${e.message}`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); } } throw new Error(`Timeout after ${max_attempts} seconds waiting ` +`for data`); }),
  • server.js:683-745 (registration)
    Dynamic registration of the tool using addTool, constructing name as `web_data_linkedin_people_search` from id.
    addTool({ name: `web_data_${id}`, description, parameters: z.object(parameters), execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${id}`, async(data, ctx)=>{ let trigger_response = await axios({ url: 'https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger', params: {dataset_id, include_errors: true}, method: 'POST', data: [data], headers: api_headers(), }); if (!trigger_response.data?.snapshot_id) throw new Error('No snapshot ID returned from request'); let snapshot_id = trigger_response.data.snapshot_id; console.error(`[web_data_${id}] triggered collection with ` +`snapshot ID: ${snapshot_id}`); let max_attempts = 600; let attempts = 0; while (attempts < max_attempts) { try { if (ctx && ctx.reportProgress) { await ctx.reportProgress({ progress: attempts, total: max_attempts, message: `Polling for data (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`, }); } let snapshot_response = await axios({ url: `https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3` +`/snapshot/${snapshot_id}`, params: {format: 'json'}, method: 'GET', headers: api_headers(), }); if (['running', 'building'].includes(snapshot_response.data?.status)) { console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot not ready, ` +`polling again (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); continue; } console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot data received ` +`after ${attempts + 1} attempts`); let result_data = JSON.stringify(snapshot_response.data); return result_data; } catch(e){ console.error(`[web_data_${id}] polling error: ` +`${e.message}`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); } } throw new Error(`Timeout after ${max_attempts} seconds waiting ` +`for data`); }), }); }
  • Wrapper function for tool executes, handling rate limiting, stats, logging, and error reporting.
    function tool_fn(name, fn){ return async(data, ctx)=>{ check_rate_limit(); debug_stats.tool_calls[name] = debug_stats.tool_calls[name]||0; debug_stats.tool_calls[name]++; debug_stats.session_calls++; let ts = Date.now(); console.error(`[%s] executing %s`, name, JSON.stringify(data)); try { return await fn(data, ctx); } catch(e){ if (e.response) { console.error(`[%s] error %s %s: %s`, name, e.response.status, e.response.statusText, e.response.data); let message = e.response.data; if (message?.length) throw new Error(`HTTP ${e.response.status}: ${message}`); } else console.error(`[%s] error %s`, name, e.stack); throw e; } finally { let dur = Date.now()-ts; console.error(`[%s] tool finished in %sms`, name, dur); } }; }
