Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'moveMessage' tool. It validates arguments, gets the IMAP controller instance, connects if needed, moves the message, and returns success.
    export const MoveMessageTool: Tool<any, typeof MoveMessageInput> = { name: "moveMessage", description: "Moves a message by ID from one folder to another.", parameters: MoveMessageInput, async execute(args, context) { if (!args || typeof args !== 'object'|| !('sourceFolder' in args) || !('destinationFolder' in args) || !('id' in args)) { throw new Error("Missing required arguments"); } const controller = ImapControllerFactory.getInstance(); await controller.connect(); await controller.moveMessage(args.sourceFolder, args.destinationFolder, args.id); return JSON.stringify({ success: true }); } };
  • Zod input schema defining parameters for the moveMessage tool: sourceFolder, destinationFolder, and id.
    export const MoveMessageInput = z.object({ sourceFolder: z.string().min(2).max(100), destinationFolder: z.string().min(2).max(100), id: z.number() });
  • src/index.ts:53-53 (registration)
    Registration of the MoveMessageTool with the FastMCP server.
    server.addTool(MoveMessageTool);
  • ImapController method implementing the actual message move using node-imap, with fallback to copy-delete if move is not supported.
    moveMessage(sourceFolder: string, destinationFolder: string, uid: number): Promise<void> { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { this.imap.openBox(sourceFolder, false, (err: Error | null, box: Imap.Box | null) => { if (err) return reject(err); // Try to use move if supported, otherwise fallback to copy+delete if (typeof this.imap.move === 'function') { (this.imap as any).move(uid, destinationFolder, (err: any) => { if (err) return reject(err); resolve(); }); } else { this.imap.copy(uid, destinationFolder, (err: Error | null) => { if (err) return reject(err); this.imap.addFlags(uid, '\Deleted', (err: Error | null) => { if (err) return reject(err); this.imap.expunge(uid, (err: Error | null) => { if (err) return reject(err); resolve(); }); }); }); } }); }); }
