• src/tools/participants/create-case-participant.js:87-169 (handler)

  The main execute handler for the 'create_case_participant' tool. Validates inputs, auto-fetches eTag if not provided by calling getCase, then invokes pegaClient.createCaseParticipant with prepared options, and handles errors with detailed logging.
  async execute(params) { const { caseID, eTag, content, participantRoleID, viewType, pageInstructions } = params; let sessionInfo = null; try { sessionInfo = this.initializeSessionConfig(params); // Validate required parameters using base class const requiredValidation = this.validateRequiredParams(params, ['caseID', 'content', 'participantRoleID']); if (requiredValidation) { return requiredValidation; } // Validate enum parameters const enumValidation = this.validateEnumParams(params, { viewType: ['form', 'none'] }); if (enumValidation) { return enumValidation; } // Auto-fetch eTag if not provided let finalETag = eTag; let autoFetchedETag = false; if (!finalETag) { try { console.log(`Auto-fetching latest eTag for participant operation on ${caseID}...`); const caseResponse = await this.pegaClient.getCase(caseID.trim()); if (!caseResponse || !caseResponse.success) { const errorMsg = `Failed to auto-fetch eTag: ${caseResponse?.error?.message || 'Unknown error'}`; return { error: errorMsg }; } finalETag = caseResponse.eTag; autoFetchedETag = true; console.log(`Successfully auto-fetched eTag: ${finalETag}`); if (!finalETag) { const errorMsg = 'Auto-fetch succeeded but no eTag was returned from get_case. This may indicate a server issue.'; return { error: errorMsg }; } } catch (error) { const errorMsg = `Failed to auto-fetch eTag: ${error.message}`; return { error: errorMsg }; } } // Validate eTag format (should be a timestamp-like string) if (typeof finalETag !== 'string' || finalETag.trim().length === 0) { return { error: 'Invalid eTag parameter. a non-empty string representing case save date time.' }; } return await this.executeWithErrorHandling( `Create Participant: ${caseID}`, async () => await this.pegaClient.createCaseParticipant(caseID.trim(), { eTag: finalETag, content, participantRoleID, viewType, pageInstructions }), { caseID: caseID.trim(), participantRoleID, sessionInfo } ); } catch (error) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `## Error: Create Participant: ${caseID}\\n\\n**Unexpected Error**: ${error.message}\\n\\n${sessionInfo ? `**Session**: ${sessionInfo.sessionId} (${sessionInfo.authMode} mode)\\n` : ''}*Error occurred at: ${new Date().toISOString()}*` }] }; } } }

• src/api/pega-client.js:836-841 (helper)

  PegaClient wrapper method for creating case participants. Checks feature availability and delegates to the underlying client.createCaseParticipant, which is called by the tool handler.
  async createCaseParticipant(caseID, options = {}) { if (!this.isFeatureAvailable('participants')) { this.throwUnsupportedFeatureError('participants', 'createCaseParticipant'); } return this.client.createCaseParticipant(caseID, options); }
