Implementation Reference

• server.js:687-743 (handler)

  Core execution logic for the web_data_linkedin_person_profile tool: triggers a BrightData dataset collection using the linkedin_person_profile dataset_id, polls the API snapshot up to 600 seconds until ready, and returns the JSON string result.
  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:674-745 (registration)

  Dynamic registration of the web_data_linkedin_person_profile tool (and similar dataset tools) via addTool, constructing name from 'web_data_' + id, Zod parameters schema from inputs, and shared execute handler.
  for (let {dataset_id, id, description, inputs, defaults = {}} of datasets) { 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_${id}`, description, parameters: z.object(parameters), execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${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:369-375 (schema)

  Dataset configuration defining the schema (inputs: ['url']), specific dataset_id, and description for the linkedin_person_profile tool used to generate web_data_linkedin_person_profile.
  id: 'linkedin_person_profile', dataset_id: 'gd_l1viktl72bvl7bjuj0', description: [ 'Quickly read structured linkedin people profile data.', 'This can be a cache lookup, so it can be more reliable than scraping', ].join('\n'), inputs: ['url'],
