"""Manage Notepad++ workspace sessions with save/load/list functionality.
PORTMANTEAU PATTERN RATIONALE:
Instead of creating 3 separate tools (save, load, list), this tool consolidates session
management operations into a single interface. Prevents tool explosion (3 tools -> 1 tool) while maintaining
full functionality and improving discoverability. Follows FastMCP 2.14.1+ SOTA standards.
Supported Operations:
- Save current workspace session to file
- Load previously saved workspace sessions
- List all available saved sessions
Operations Detail:
**Session Persistence:**
- "save": Save current open documents and workspace state to named session file
**Session Restoration:**
- "load": Load documents and workspace state from named session file
**Session Discovery:**
- "list": Enumerate all saved session files with metadata
Prerequisites:
- Windows OS with Notepad++ installed
- pywin32 package for Windows API access
- File system write access for session directory
- Notepad++ running (for save operation)
Args:
operation (Literal, required): The session operation to perform. Must be one of: "save", "load", "list".
- "save": Save current session (requires session_name)
- "load": Load saved session (requires session_name)
- "list": List saved sessions (no additional parameters required)
session_name (str | None): Session identifier for save/load operations. Required for: save, load operations.
Must be a valid filename (no special characters, max 255 chars).
For save: creates new session with this name.
For load: loads existing session with this name.
Returns:
Dictionary following FastMCP 2.14.1+ enhanced response patterns:
```json
{
"success": true,
"operation": "save",
"summary": "Session 'my_work' saved successfully",
"result": {
"session_name": "my_work",
"session_path": "C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/Notepad++/sessions/my_work.xml",
"documents_saved": 5,
"timestamp": "2024-01-12T14:30:00Z"
},
"next_steps": ["Load session later", "Continue working"],
"context": {
"operation_type": "session_persistence"
}
}
```
**Success Response Structure:**
- success (bool): Operation success status
- operation (str): Session operation that was performed
- summary (str): Human-readable result summary
- result (dict): Session-specific data (name, path, document count, etc.)
- next_steps (list[str]): Suggested next actions
- context (dict): Additional operation context
**Error Response Structure:**
- success (bool): Always false for errors
- error (str): Error type (invalid_name, session_not_found, etc.)
- operation (str): Failed operation
- summary (str): Human-readable error summary
- recovery_options (list[str]): Suggested recovery actions
Examples:
# Save current session
result = await session_ops("save", session_name="morning_work")
# Returns: {"success": true, "summary": "Session saved", "result": {...}, ...}
# Load saved session
result = await session_ops("load", session_name="morning_work")
# Returns: {"success": true, "summary": "Session loaded", "result": {...}, ...}
# List all saved sessions
result = await session_ops("list")
# Returns: {"success": true, "result": {"sessions": [...], "count": 3}, ...}
Errors:
**Common Errors:**
- "Windows API not available": pywin32 not installed or Notepad++ not running
- "Invalid session name": Session name contains invalid characters or is too long
- "Session not found": Specified session_name does not exist (for load operation)
- "Permission denied": No write access to session directory
- "Session directory not accessible": Notepad++ session directory not found
**Recovery Options:**
- Install pywin32: `pip install pywin32`
- Use only alphanumeric characters and underscores in session names
- Check session name spelling with "list" operation first
- Ensure write permissions to Notepad++ user directory
- Verify Notepad++ is properly installed and configured
