Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'get_attachment' tool. It uses the shared handleTool to authenticate and call the Gmail API's users.messages.attachments.get method with the provided messageId and attachment id, then formats the response.
      async (params) => {
        return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => {
          const { data } = await gmail.users.messages.attachments.get({ userId: 'me', messageId: params.messageId, id: params.id })
          return formatResponse(data)
        })
      }
    )
  • Zod schema defining the input parameters for the get_attachment tool: messageId (string) and id (string).
      messageId: z.string().describe("ID of the message containing the attachment"),
      id: z.string().describe("The ID of the attachment"),
    },
  • src/index.ts:688-700 (registration)
    Registration of the 'get_attachment' tool on the MCP server, including name, description, input schema, and handler function.
    server.tool("get_attachment",

      {
        messageId: z.string().describe("ID of the message containing the attachment"),
        id: z.string().describe("The ID of the attachment"),
      },
      async (params) => {
        return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => {
          const { data } = await gmail.users.messages.attachments.get({ userId: 'me', messageId: params.messageId, id: params.id })
          return formatResponse(data)
        })
