Implementation Reference

  • Executes the update_task tool by constructing and running embedded Python code that uses the Dart SDK to update a task with the provided parameters (duid required, others optional).
    case 'update_task': { console.error('[Debug] Handling update_task request'); const command = `print("[Debug] Starting task update", file=sys.stderr) try: # Get initialized client and bundle client, bundle, dartboard_duid = initialize() print("[Debug] Got client and bundle", file=sys.stderr) print("[Debug] Creating task update object", file=sys.stderr) task_update = TaskUpdate( duid="${args.duid}", source_type=UNSET ) if ${args.status_duid !== undefined ? 'True' : 'False'}: task_update.status_duid = "${args.status_duid}" if ${args.title !== undefined ? 'True' : 'False'}: task_update.title = "${args.title}" if ${args.description !== undefined ? 'True' : 'False'}: task_update.description = "${args.description}" if ${args.priority !== undefined ? 'True' : 'False'}: task_update.priority = "${args.priority}" print("[Debug] Task update object created:", task_update, file=sys.stderr) print("[Debug] Creating operation", file=sys.stderr) task_update_op = Operation( model=OperationModelKind.TASK, kind=OperationKind.UPDATE, data=task_update ) print("[Debug] Operation created:", task_update_op, file=sys.stderr) print("[Debug] Executing transaction", file=sys.stderr) response = client.transact([task_update_op], TransactionKind.TASK_UPDATE) print("[Debug] Transaction completed", file=sys.stderr) if response.results and response.results[0].success: print(f"Task updated successfully") print(f"[Debug] Task update successful", file=sys.stderr) else: print("[Debug] Task update failed", file=sys.stderr) if response.results: print(f"[Debug] Result: {response.results[0]}", file=sys.stderr) print("Failed to update task", file=sys.stderr) sys.exit(1) except Exception as e: print(f"[Debug] Task update error: {str(e)}", file=sys.stderr) print("[Debug] Error type:", type(e), file=sys.stderr) traceback.print_exc(file=sys.stderr) sys.exit(1)`; console.error('[Debug] Running Python command for task update'); const output = await this.runDartCommand(command); console.error('[Debug] Task update output:', output); const response = { content: [{ type: 'text', text: output, }], }; console.error('[Debug] Sending task update response:', JSON.stringify(response, null, 2)); return response; }
  • Defines the input schema for the update_task tool, specifying required 'duid' and optional fields for status, title, description, and priority.
    inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { duid: { type: 'string', description: 'DUID of the task to update', }, status_duid: { type: 'string', description: 'New status DUID', }, title: { type: 'string', description: 'New title for the task', }, description: { type: 'string', description: 'New description for the task', }, priority: { type: 'string', description: 'New priority for the task', enum: ['Low', 'Medium', 'High', 'Critical'], } }, required: ['duid'], },
  • src/index.ts:302-331 (registration)
    Registers the update_task tool in the listTools response, including its name, description, and input schema.
    name: 'update_task', description: 'Update an existing task', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { duid: { type: 'string', description: 'DUID of the task to update', }, status_duid: { type: 'string', description: 'New status DUID', }, title: { type: 'string', description: 'New title for the task', }, description: { type: 'string', description: 'New description for the task', }, priority: { type: 'string', description: 'New priority for the task', enum: ['Low', 'Medium', 'High', 'Critical'], } }, required: ['duid'], }, },
  • Helper function used by all tools, including update_task, to execute dynamically generated Python code that interacts with the Dart library via child_process.spawn.
