inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { cid: { type: ['number', 'string'], description: 'PubChem Compound ID (CID)' }, query: { type: 'string', description: 'Patent search query (alternative to CID)' }, }, required: [], }, - src/index.ts:696-707 (registration)Registration of the 'search_patents' tool in the ListTools response, including name, description, and schema.
{ name: 'search_patents', description: 'Search for chemical patents and intellectual property information', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { cid: { type: ['number', 'string'], description: 'PubChem Compound ID (CID)' }, query: { type: 'string', description: 'Patent search query (alternative to CID)' }, }, required: [], }, }, - src/index.ts:804-805 (registration)Dispatch/registration case in the CallToolRequestSchema handler that routes to the search_patents handler method.
