Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function that implements the logic for retrieving a specific vulnerability by ID from the API endpoint. It validates the ID, makes an authenticated GET request, and returns formatted JSON response or error content.
    async function getVulnerability(providedToken, vulnerabilityId) {
      try {
        const bearerToken = getBearerToken(providedToken);
        
        // Validate vulnerabilityId format (should be MongoDB ObjectId)
        if (!vulnerabilityId || !vulnerabilityId.match(/^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$/)) {
          throw new McpError(
            ErrorCode.InvalidParams,
            'Invalid vulnerabilityId format. Must be a valid MongoDB ObjectId (24 characters)'
          );
        }
    
        const response = await axios.get(`${VULNERABILITY_ENDPOINT}/${vulnerabilityId}`, {
          headers: {
            'Authorization': `Bearer ${bearerToken}`,
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          },
          timeout: 10000,
        });
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              text: JSON.stringify({
                success: true,
                status: response.status,
                data: response.data,
                timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
                message: `Retrieved vulnerability ${vulnerabilityId}`,
              }, null, 2),
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        if (error instanceof McpError) {
          throw error;
        }
        
        if (error.response) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: 'text',
                text: JSON.stringify({
                  success: false,
                  status: error.response.status,
                  error: error.response.data || error.message,
                  timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
                }, null, 2),
              },
            ],
          };
        } else if (error.request) {
          throw new McpError(
            ErrorCode.InternalError,
            `Network error: Unable to reach the API at ${VULNERABILITY_ENDPOINT}/${vulnerabilityId}`
          );

    The dispatch case in the central tool call handler that validates arguments and invokes the getVulnerability handler function.
    case 'get_vulnerability':
      if (!args.vulnerabilityId) {
