- main.py:209-215 (handler)The main handler function for the 'ledger_commodities' tool. It builds the command list for 'ledger commodities' with an optional query filter and calls the run_ledger helper to execute it.def ledger_commodities(params: LedgerCommodities) -> str: cmd = ["commodities"] if params.query: cmd.append(params.query) return run_ledger(cmd)
- main.py:66-69 (schema)Pydantic BaseModel schema defining the input parameters for the ledger_commodities tool, featuring an optional query string.class LedgerCommodities(BaseModel): query: Optional[str] = Field( None, description="Filter commodities by regex pattern" )
- main.py:208-208 (registration)FastMCP decorator that registers the ledger_commodities function as a tool with the description 'List all commodities'.@mcp.tool(description="List all commodities")
- main.py:107-129 (helper)Shared helper function that safely executes ledger CLI commands via subprocess, handling errors and input validation. Used by the ledger_commodities handler.def run_ledger(args: List[str]) -> str: try: if not LEDGER_FILE: return "Ledger file path not set. Please provide it via --ledger-file argument or LEDGER_FILE environment variable." # Validate inputs to prevent command injection for arg in args: if ";" in arg or "&" in arg or "|" in arg: return "Error: Invalid characters in command arguments." result = subprocess.run( ["ledger", "-f", LEDGER_FILE] + args, check=True, text=True, capture_output=True, ) return result.stdout except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e: error_message = f"Ledger command failed: {e.stderr}" if "couldn't find file" in e.stderr: error_message = f"Ledger file not found at {LEDGER_FILE}. Please provide a valid path via --ledger-file argument or LEDGER_FILE environment variable." return error_message
