Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that executes the tool logic: resolves path safely, stats the file/dir, builds info object with size, timestamps, permissions, and adds file/dir specific fields like extension, mime_type, item_count, and Claude optimization guides.
    async function handleGetFileInfo(args: any) { const { path: targetPath } = args; const safePath_resolved = safePath(targetPath); const stats = await fs.stat(safePath_resolved); const info = { path: safePath_resolved, name: path.basename(safePath_resolved), type: stats.isDirectory() ? 'directory' : 'file', size: stats.size, size_readable: formatSize(stats.size), created: stats.birthtime.toISOString(), modified: stats.mtime.toISOString(), accessed: stats.atime.toISOString(), permissions: stats.mode, is_readable: true, is_writable: true }; if (stats.isFile()) { (info as any).extension = path.extname(safePath_resolved); (info as any).mime_type = getMimeType(safePath_resolved); if (stats.size > CLAUDE_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE) { (info as any).claude_guide = { message: 'File is large, consider using chunked reading', recommended_chunk_size: CLAUDE_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, total_chunks: Math.ceil(stats.size / CLAUDE_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE) }; } } else if (stats.isDirectory()) { try { const entries = await fs.readdir(safePath_resolved); (info as any).item_count = entries.length; if (entries.length > CLAUDE_MAX_DIR_ITEMS) { (info as any).claude_guide = { message: 'Directory has many items, consider using pagination', recommended_page_size: CLAUDE_MAX_DIR_ITEMS, total_pages: Math.ceil(entries.length / CLAUDE_MAX_DIR_ITEMS) }; } } catch { (info as any).item_count = 'Unable to count'; } } return info; }
  • Input schema definition requiring a 'path' parameter of type string.
    inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { path: { type: 'string', description: '조회할 경로' } }, required: ['path'] }
  • api/server.ts:332-334 (registration)
    Switch case registration that calls the handleGetFileInfo function when the tool is invoked.
    case 'fast_get_file_info': result = await handleGetFileInfo(args); break;
  • api/server.ts:155-165 (registration)
    Tool definition in MCP_TOOLS array used for tools/list endpoint, including name, description, and schema.
    { name: 'fast_get_file_info', description: '파일/디렉토리 상세 정보를 조회합니다', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { path: { type: 'string', description: '조회할 경로' } }, required: ['path'] } },
