Implementation Reference

  • Executes an aggregation pipeline using $collStats to compute the total storage size of the specified collection, scales the value to human-readable units, and returns a formatted text response.
    protected async execute({ database, collection }: ToolArgs<typeof DbOperationArgs>): Promise<CallToolResult> { const provider = await this.ensureConnected(); const [{ value }] = (await provider .aggregate(database, collection, [ { $collStats: { storageStats: {} } }, { $group: { _id: null, value: { $sum: "$storageStats.size" } } }, ]) .toArray()) as [{ value: number }]; const { units, value: scaledValue } = CollectionStorageSizeTool.getStats(value); return { content: [ { text: `The size of "${database}.${collection}" is \`${scaledValue.toFixed(2)} ${units}\``, type: "text", }, ], }; }
  • Zod schema defining the required input arguments for the tool: database and collection names.
    export const DbOperationArgs = { database: z.string().describe("Database name"), collection: z.string().describe("Collection name"), };
  • The tool class definition with the 'name' property set to 'collection-storage-size', which identifies and registers the tool.
    export class CollectionStorageSizeTool extends MongoDBToolBase { public name = "collection-storage-size";
  • Custom error handling for cases where the collection does not exist (NamespaceNotFound), providing a user-friendly message.
    protected handleError( error: unknown, args: ToolArgs<typeof this.argsShape> ): Promise<CallToolResult> | CallToolResult { if (error instanceof Error && "codeName" in error && error.codeName === "NamespaceNotFound") { return { content: [ { text: `The size of "${args.database}.${args.collection}" cannot be determined because the collection does not exist.`, type: "text", }, ], isError: true, }; } return super.handleError(error, args); }
  • Utility function to convert raw storage size in bytes to a scaled human-readable value with appropriate units (bytes, KB, MB, GB).
    private static getStats(value: number): { value: number; units: string } { const kb = 1024; const mb = kb * 1024; const gb = mb * 1024; if (value > gb) { return { value: value / gb, units: "GB" }; } if (value > mb) { return { value: value / mb, units: "MB" }; } if (value > kb) { return { value: value / kb, units: "KB" }; } return { value, units: "bytes" }; }
