Implementation Reference

  • Handler implementation that fetches contact details from macOS Contacts app via AppleScript, formats them into a document, and creates a new TextEdit document with the information.
    case 'workflow_contact_to_textedit': try { const personName = (args?.name as string) || ''; const docTitle = (args?.title as string) || `Contact: ${personName}`; if (!personName) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: 'Error: name is required', }, ], }; } // Step 1: Get contact information const contactCommand = `osascript -e 'on run argv set personNameToFind to item 1 of argv tell application "Contacts" set thePerson to first person whose name is personNameToFind set emailList to {} repeat with anEmail in emails of thePerson set end of emailList to (value of anEmail & " (" & label of anEmail & ")") end repeat set phoneList to {} repeat with aPhone in phones of thePerson set end of phoneList to (value of aPhone & " (" & label of aPhone & ")") end repeat return "Name: " & name of thePerson & "\\nCompany: " & organization of thePerson & "\\nJob Title: " & job title of thePerson & "\\nEmails:\\n" & (emailList as string) & "\\nPhones:\\n" & (phoneList as string) end tell end run' -- "${personName}"`; const { stdout: contactInfo, stderr: contactError } = await execAsync(contactCommand); if (contactError.trim()) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error getting contact info: ${contactError.trim()}`, }, ], }; } if (!contactInfo.trim()) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `No contact found with name "${personName}"`, }, ], }; } // Step 2: Format data for document const formattedContent = `${docTitle} ================== ${contactInfo.trim()} Generated: ${new Date().toLocaleString()}`; // Step 3: Create TextEdit document const docCommand = `osascript -e 'on run argv set docContent to item 1 of argv tell application "TextEdit" set newDoc to make new document set text of newDoc to docContent set docName to name of newDoc return "Created document: " & docName end tell end run' -- "${formattedContent}"`; const { stdout: docResult, stderr: docError } = await execAsync(docCommand); if (docError.trim()) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error creating document: ${docError.trim()}`, }, ], }; } return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Workflow completed: ${docResult.trim()}`, }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error executing workflow: ${error.message}`, }, ], }; }
  • Tool schema defining input parameters: required 'name' for the contact and optional 'title' for the document.
