Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'update_breakpoint' MCP tool. It handles updates for both pending breakpoints (enable/disable only) and active session breakpoints by calling session.updateBreakpoint.
    async ({ breakpoint_id, state, hit_value, hit_condition, session_id }) => { // Check if it's a pending breakpoint if (breakpoint_id.startsWith('pending_')) { const enabled = state === undefined ? undefined : state === 'enabled'; if (enabled !== undefined) { const success = pendingBreakpoints.setBreakpointEnabled(breakpoint_id, enabled); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success, breakpoint_id, updates: { state }, message: success ? 'Pending breakpoint updated' : 'Failed to update pending breakpoint (may not exist)', }), }, ], }; } return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success: false, breakpoint_id, message: 'Only enable/disable is supported for pending breakpoints', }), }, ], }; } const session = sessionManager.resolveSession(session_id); if (!session) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ error: 'No active debug session' }), }, ], }; } const success = await session.updateBreakpoint(breakpoint_id, { state: state as 'enabled' | 'disabled' | undefined, hitValue: hit_value, hitCondition: hit_condition as HitCondition | undefined, }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success, breakpoint_id, updates: { state, hit_value, hit_condition }, }), }, ], }; }
  • Input schema definition (Zod) for the 'update_breakpoint' tool parameters.
    { breakpoint_id: z.string().describe('The breakpoint ID to update'), state: z .enum(['enabled', 'disabled']) .optional() .describe('Enable or disable the breakpoint'), hit_value: z.number().int().optional().describe('New hit count value'), hit_condition: z .enum(['>=', '==', '%']) .optional() .describe('New hit condition'), session_id: z.string().optional().describe('Session ID'), },
  • Registration of the 'update_breakpoint' tool using server.tool() in registerBreakpointTools function.
    server.tool( 'update_breakpoint', 'Update a breakpoint (enable/disable or change hit conditions). Works for both active session and pending breakpoints.', { breakpoint_id: z.string().describe('The breakpoint ID to update'), state: z .enum(['enabled', 'disabled']) .optional() .describe('Enable or disable the breakpoint'), hit_value: z.number().int().optional().describe('New hit count value'), hit_condition: z .enum(['>=', '==', '%']) .optional() .describe('New hit condition'), session_id: z.string().optional().describe('Session ID'), }, async ({ breakpoint_id, state, hit_value, hit_condition, session_id }) => { // Check if it's a pending breakpoint if (breakpoint_id.startsWith('pending_')) { const enabled = state === undefined ? undefined : state === 'enabled'; if (enabled !== undefined) { const success = pendingBreakpoints.setBreakpointEnabled(breakpoint_id, enabled); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success, breakpoint_id, updates: { state }, message: success ? 'Pending breakpoint updated' : 'Failed to update pending breakpoint (may not exist)', }), }, ], }; } return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success: false, breakpoint_id, message: 'Only enable/disable is supported for pending breakpoints', }), }, ], }; } const session = sessionManager.resolveSession(session_id); if (!session) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ error: 'No active debug session' }), }, ], }; } const success = await session.updateBreakpoint(breakpoint_id, { state: state as 'enabled' | 'disabled' | undefined, hitValue: hit_value, hitCondition: hit_condition as HitCondition | undefined, }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success, breakpoint_id, updates: { state, hit_value, hit_condition }, }), }, ], }; } );
  • Session class method that performs the actual DBGP 'breakpoint_update' command to update an active breakpoint.
    async updateBreakpoint( breakpointId: string, options: { state?: 'enabled' | 'disabled'; hitValue?: number; hitCondition?: HitCondition; } ): Promise<boolean> { const args: Record<string, string> = { d: breakpointId }; if (options.state) args['s'] = options.state; if (options.hitValue !== undefined) args['h'] = options.hitValue.toString(); if (options.hitCondition) args['o'] = options.hitCondition; const response = await this.connection.sendCommand('breakpoint_update', args); return !response.error; }
