- src/index.ts:139-141 (schema)Zod schema defining the input parameter 'credentialId' for the ssh_delete_credential tool.const DeleteCredentialSchema = z.object({ credentialId: z.string().describe('Credential ID to delete') });
- src/index.ts:397-407 (registration)Registration of the tool in the ListTools response, defining name, description, and input schema.{ name: 'ssh_delete_credential', description: 'Delete a saved SSH credential', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { credentialId: { type: 'string', description: 'Credential ID to delete' } }, required: ['credentialId'] }, },
- src/index.ts:509-510 (registration)Registration of the tool handler in the CallToolRequest switch statement.case 'ssh_delete_credential': return await this.handleDeleteCredential(args);
