Implementation Reference
- main.py:1167-1177 (handler)The primary handler function for the 'get_container_summary' tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool for automatic registration in the FastMCP framework and implements the core logic by calling the RSpace inventory client's get_container_by_id method with include_content=False for performance-optimized metadata retrieval.
@mcp.tool(tags={"rspace", "inventory", "utility"}) def get_container_summary(container_id: int | str) -> dict: """ Retrieves container metadata without content for fast queries Usage: Quick container information lookup without performance impact Performance: Avoids loading large content lists for better response times Returns: Container metadata only (name, type, capacity, etc.) """ return inv_cli.get_container_by_id(container_id, include_content=False) - main.py:61-66 (schema)Pydantic BaseModel defining the expected structure of inventory container metadata, which aligns with the fields returned by the get_container_summary tool (name, globalId, cType, capacity). Used for type safety and validation in the codebase.
