Implementation Reference
- src/airflow/dag.py:103-105 (handler)The handler function for the 'get_dag_source' tool. It takes a file_token, calls the Airflow DAG API to retrieve the DAG source, converts the response to a dictionary string, and returns it as MCP TextContent.async def get_dag_source(file_token: str) -> List[Union[types.TextContent, types.ImageContent, types.EmbeddedResource]]: response = dag_api.get_dag_source(file_token=file_token) return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(response.to_dict()))]
- src/airflow/dag.py:15-33 (registration)Registers the 'get_dag_source' tool (4th entry) along with other DAG-related tools. This function is imported into src/main.py and its output used to add tools to the MCP server.def get_all_functions() -> list[tuple[Callable, str, str, bool]]: """Return list of (function, name, description, is_read_only) tuples for registration.""" return [ (get_dags, "fetch_dags", "Fetch all DAGs", True), (get_dag, "get_dag", "Get a DAG by ID", True), (get_dag_details, "get_dag_details", "Get a simplified representation of DAG", True), (get_dag_source, "get_dag_source", "Get a source code", True), (pause_dag, "pause_dag", "Pause a DAG by ID", False), (unpause_dag, "unpause_dag", "Unpause a DAG by ID", False), (get_dag_tasks, "get_dag_tasks", "Get tasks for DAG", True), (get_task, "get_task", "Get a task by ID", True), (get_tasks, "get_tasks", "Get tasks for DAG", True), (patch_dag, "patch_dag", "Update a DAG", False), (patch_dags, "patch_dags", "Update multiple DAGs", False), (delete_dag, "delete_dag", "Delete a DAG", False), (clear_task_instances, "clear_task_instances", "Clear a set of task instances", False), (set_task_instances_state, "set_task_instances_state", "Set a state of task instances", False), (reparse_dag_file, "reparse_dag_file", "Request re-parsing of a DAG file", False), ]
- src/main.py:95-96 (registration)The loop in main() that adds all tools from module get_all_functions, including get_dag_source from dag.py, to the MCP app using Tool.from_function.for func, name, description, *_ in functions: app.add_tool(Tool.from_function(func, name=name, description=description))
- src/main.py:8-8 (registration)Imports the get_all_functions from dag.py, which includes the get_dag_source registration.from src.airflow.dag import get_all_functions as get_dag_functions
