Implementation Reference

src/index.ts:388-406 (handler)

The handler logic for the 'extend_experiment' tool. It extracts experiment_id and hours from arguments, calls cloudlabRequest with PUT /experiments/{id} and body {extend_by: hours}, and returns the result.

case "extend_experiment": {
  const { experiment_id, hours } = args as {
    experiment_id: string;
    hours: number;
  };
  const result = await cloudlabRequest(
    `/experiments/${experiment_id}`,
    "PUT",
    { extend_by: hours }
  );
  return {
    content: [
      {
        type: "text",
        text: `Extension requested: ${JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}`,
      },
    ],
  };
}
