Implementation Reference
- src/mcp_google_suite/server.py:325-337 (handler)The handler function that implements the core logic for the 'docs_get_content' tool. It validates the document_id input and calls the DocsService to retrieve the document content.async def _handle_docs_get_content( self, context: GoogleWorkspaceContext, arguments: dict ) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Handle docs get content requests.""" document_id = arguments.get("document_id") if not document_id: raise ValueError("Document ID is required") logger.debug(f"Getting document content - ID: {document_id}") result = await context.docs.get_document_content(document_id=document_id) logger.debug("Document content retrieved successfully") return result
- The input schema definition for the 'docs_get_content' tool, requiring a 'document_id' string parameter.types.Tool( name="docs_get_content", description="Get the contents of a Google Doc", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": { "document_id": {"type": "string", "description": "ID of the document"} }, "required": ["document_id"], }, ),
- src/mcp_google_suite/server.py:176-182 (registration)The registration logic that dynamically registers the 'docs_get_content' handler by looking for _handle_docs_get_content method.# Register tool handlers for tool in self._get_tools_list(): handler_name = f"_handle_{tool.name}" if hasattr(self, handler_name): handler = getattr(self, handler_name) self._tool_registry[tool.name] = handler logger.debug(f"Registered handler for {tool.name}")
- Supporting method in DocsService that performs the actual API call to retrieve Google Doc contents (likely the target of the handler's delegation, despite minor name discrepancy).async def get_document(self, document_id: str) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Get the contents of a Google Doc.""" try: service = await self.get_service() document = await asyncio.to_thread( service.documents().get(documentId=document_id).execute ) return {"success": True, "document": document} except HttpError as error: return {"success": False, **self.handle_error(error)}
