Implementation Reference
- src/tools/recital.ts:15-60 (handler)The implementation of the getRecital tool handler which queries the database for a specific recital.
export async function getRecital( db: DatabaseAdapter, input: GetRecitalInput ): Promise<Recital | null> { const { regulation, recital_number } = input; // Validate recital_number is a safe integer if (!Number.isInteger(recital_number) || !Number.isFinite(recital_number)) { return null; } // Reject negative or unrealistic recital numbers if (recital_number < 1 || recital_number > 10000) { return null; } const sql = ` SELECT regulation, recital_number, text, related_articles FROM recitals WHERE regulation = $1 AND recital_number = $2 `; const result = await db.query(sql, [regulation, recital_number]); if (result.rows.length === 0) { return null; } const row = result.rows[0] as { regulation: string; recital_number: number; text: string; related_articles: string | null; }; return { regulation: row.regulation, recital_number: row.recital_number, text: row.text, related_articles: row.related_articles ? JSON.parse(row.related_articles) : null, }; } - src/tools/registry.ts:127-151 (registration)The registration of the get_recital tool in the central registry, mapping it to the handler.
