| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| target | Yes | Target name (gene, protein, or pathway) | |

Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1152-1154 (handler)The primary handler function implementing the 'search_by_target' tool logic. It is a placeholder that returns a 'not yet implemented' message with the input arguments.
private async handleSearchByTarget(args: any) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Target search not yet implemented', args }, null, 2) }] }; } - src/index.ts:612-623 (registration)Registration of the 'search_by_target' tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler, including its name, description, and input schema definition.
{ name: 'search_by_target', description: 'Find compounds tested against a specific biological target', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { target: { type: 'string', description: 'Target name (gene, protein, or pathway)' }, activity_type: { type: 'string', description: 'Type of activity (e.g., IC50, EC50, Ki)' }, max_records: { type: 'number', description: 'Maximum number of results (1-1000, default: 100)', minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 }, }, required: ['target'], }, - src/index.ts:615-623 (schema)The input schema defining the expected parameters for the 'search_by_target' tool.
inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { target: { type: 'string', description: 'Target name (gene, protein, or pathway)' }, activity_type: { type: 'string', description: 'Type of activity (e.g., IC50, EC50, Ki)' }, max_records: { type: 'number', description: 'Maximum number of results (1-1000, default: 100)', minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 }, }, required: ['target'], }, - src/index.ts:786-787 (registration)Dispatch case in the CallToolRequestSchema handler that routes calls to the 'search_by_target' tool to its handler function.
