Implementation Reference
- src/airflow/taskinstance.py:88-102 (handler)The async handler function that executes the tool logic, updating the task instance state using Airflow's TaskInstanceApi.async def update_task_instance( dag_id: str, dag_run_id: str, task_id: str, state: Optional[str] = None ) -> List[Union[types.TextContent, types.ImageContent, types.EmbeddedResource]]: update_request = {} if state is not None: update_request["state"] = state response = task_instance_api.patch_task_instance( dag_id=dag_id, dag_run_id=dag_run_id, task_id=task_id, update_mask=list(update_request.keys()), task_instance_request=update_request, ) return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(response.to_dict()))]
- src/airflow/taskinstance.py:16-21 (registration)Registers the update_task_instance tool in the module's get_all_functions() list, providing the handler, name, description, and mutability flag.( update_task_instance, "update_task_instance", "Update a task instance by DAG ID, DAG run ID, and task ID", False, ),
- src/main.py:17-17 (registration)Imports the get_all_functions from taskinstance module for inclusion in MCP tool registration.from src.airflow.taskinstance import get_all_functions as get_taskinstance_functions
- src/main.py:35-35 (registration)Maps APIType.TASKINSTANCE to the taskinstance functions getter in the central APITYPE_TO_FUNCTIONS dictionary used for tool registration.APIType.TASKINSTANCE: get_taskinstance_functions,
- src/main.py:90-91 (registration)Loop that adds each tool from the functions list (including update_task_instance) to the MCP app using app.add_tool.for func, name, description, *_ in functions: app.add_tool(func, name=name, description=description)
