Implementation Reference

  • Core handler logic for 'iterm_run' tool: generates AppleScript to run the specified command in an iTerm window, optionally in a new window.
    script: (args) => ` tell application "iTerm" ${ args.newWindow ? ` set newWindow to (create window with default profile) tell current session of newWindow ` : ` set w to current window tell w's current session ` } write text "${args.command}" activate end tell end tell `,
  • Input schema definition for the 'iterm_run' tool, specifying 'command' as required and optional 'newWindow' parameter.
    schema: { type: "object", properties: { command: { type: "string", description: "Command to run in iTerm", }, newWindow: { type: "boolean", description: "Whether to open in a new window (default: false)", default: false, }, }, required: ["command"], },
  • Registers tool names using '{category}_{script}' format, creating 'iterm_run' from 'iterm' category and 'run' script.
    name: `${category.name}_${script.name}`, // Changed from dot to underscore
  • src/index.ts:30-30 (registration)
    Registers the 'iterm' ScriptCategory containing the 'run' script (becomes 'iterm_run' tool).
    server.addCategory(itermCategory);
