async handleGetIssue(args: any) { try { const { issueKey } = args; if (!issueKey) { throw new Error('issueKey is required'); } const issue = await this.apiClient.get(`/issue/${issueKey}`); const fieldMetadata = await this.getFieldMetadata(); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JiraFormatters.formatIssue(issue, fieldMetadata), }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JiraFormatters.formatError(error), }, ], isError: true, }; } } - src/tools/definitions.ts:3-16 (schema)Defines the tool schema including name, description, and input schema requiring 'issueKey' parameter.
