Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function that executes the substructure_search tool logic. Currently a placeholder indicating not yet implemented.
    private async handleSubstructureSearch(args: any) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Substructure search not yet implemented', args }, null, 2) }] }; }
  • Input schema for validating arguments to the substructure_search tool: requires SMILES string, optional max_records.
    inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { smiles: { type: 'string', description: 'SMILES string of the substructure query' }, max_records: { type: 'number', description: 'Maximum number of results (1-10000, default: 100)', minimum: 1, maximum: 10000 }, }, required: ['smiles'], },
  • src/index.ts:454-465 (registration)
    Registration of the substructure_search tool in the ListTools response, defining name, description, and schema.
    { name: 'substructure_search', description: 'Find compounds containing a specific substructure', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { smiles: { type: 'string', description: 'SMILES string of the substructure query' }, max_records: { type: 'number', description: 'Maximum number of results (1-10000, default: 100)', minimum: 1, maximum: 10000 }, }, required: ['smiles'], }, },
  • src/index.ts:756-757 (registration)
    Dispatch registration in the CallToolRequestSchema switch statement, routing calls to the handler.
    case 'substructure_search': return await this.handleSubstructureSearch(args);
