Implementation Reference
- src/tool-handler.ts:334-340 (handler)Handler case in the tool dispatcher that extracts arguments and calls the Asana client to add dependents to a task.case "asana_add_task_dependents": { const { task_id, dependents } = args; const response = await asanaClient.addTaskDependents(task_id, dependents); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }], }; }
- src/asana-client-wrapper.ts:227-235 (helper)Implements the core logic for adding dependents to a task by constructing the request body and calling the Asana SDK's addDependentsForTask method.async addTaskDependents(taskId: string, dependents: string[]) { const body = { data: { dependents: dependents } }; const response = await this.tasks.addDependentsForTask(body, taskId); return response.data; }
- Defines the tool schema including name, description, and input validation schema requiring task_id and dependents array.export const addTaskDependentsTool: Tool = { name: "asana_add_task_dependents", description: "Set dependents for a task (tasks that depend on this task)", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { task_id: { type: "string", description: "The task ID to add dependents to" }, dependents: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" }, description: "Array of task IDs that depend on this task" } }, required: ["task_id", "dependents"] } };
- src/tool-handler.ts:27-31 (registration)Imports the addTaskDependentsTool schema for registration in the tool handler.import { addTaskDependenciesTool, addTaskDependentsTool, setParentForTaskTool } from './tools/task-relationship-tools.js';
- src/tool-handler.ts:50-51 (registration)Registers the tool by including it in the all_tools array exported as list_of_tools.addTaskDependenciesTool, addTaskDependentsTool,
