Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/search-handlers.ts:220-256 (handler)The handler function for the list_searches tool. Lists all active search sessions managed by searchManager, formats a readable output with session details including ID, type, pattern, status, runtime, and result count. Returns formatted text or error if failed.
export async function handleListSearches(): Promise<ServerResult> { try { const sessions = searchManager.listSearchSessions(); if (sessions.length === 0) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "No active searches." }], }; } let output = `Active Searches (${sessions.length}):\n\n`; for (const session of sessions) { const status = session.isComplete ? (session.isError ? '❌ ERROR' : '✅ COMPLETED') : '🔄 RUNNING'; output += `Session: ${session.id}\n`; output += ` Type: ${session.searchType}\n`; output += ` Pattern: "${session.pattern}"\n`; output += ` Status: ${status}\n`; output += ` Runtime: ${Math.round(session.runtime / 1000)}s\n`; output += ` Results: ${session.totalResults}\n\n`; } return { content: [{ type: "text", text: output }], }; } catch (error) { const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error listing search sessions: ${errorMessage}` }], isError: true, }; } } - src/tools/schemas.ts:192-192 (schema)Zod schema definition for list_searches tool arguments. Empty object schema since the tool requires no input parameters.
export const ListSearchesArgsSchema = z.object({}); - src/server.ts:631-645 (registration)MCP tool registration in list_tools handler: defines name 'list_searches', description, input schema (empty), and annotations. This makes the tool discoverable to MCP clients.
name: "list_searches", description: ` List all active searches. Shows search IDs, search types, patterns, status, and runtime. Similar to list_sessions for terminal processes. Useful for managing multiple concurrent searches. ${CMD_PREFIX_DESCRIPTION}`, inputSchema: zodToJsonSchema(ListSearchesArgsSchema), annotations: { title: "List Active Searches", readOnlyHint: true, }, }, - src/server.ts:1314-1316 (registration)Handler dispatch registration in call_tool request handler: maps tool name 'list_searches' to execution of handleListSearches function from handlers module.
