Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:397-421 (handler)Handler function that implements the delete_list tool logic: validates list existence, deletes the list from the 'lists' Map, and returns success/error messages.
async ({ list_id }) => { if (!lists.has(list_id)) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error: No list found with ID "${list_id}". The list may have already been deleted or the ID is incorrect.`, }, ], isError: true, }; } const itemCount = lists.get(list_id)?.length; lists.delete(list_id); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Successfully deleted list "${list_id}" which contained ${itemCount} items.`, }, ], }; }, - src/index.ts:387-396 (schema)Tool metadata including description and input schema definition (list_id: string).
{ description: `Deletes an existing list by its ID. WHEN TO USE: - To clean up lists that are no longer needed - To free up memory after processing is complete`, inputSchema: { list_id: z.string().describe("The list ID returned by create_list."), }, }, - src/index.ts:385-422 (registration)Registration of the 'delete_list' tool with server.registerTool, including name, schema, and inline handler function.
