Implementation Reference

  • Main handler function that executes the update_artifact tool logic. Finds the node, processes updates to metadata and edges, performs transactional updates via ApplicationManager.
    export async function handleSchemaUpdate(
        updates: NodeData,
        schema: SchemaConfig,
        nodeType: string,

  • Helper function that processes the update data: parses current metadata, applies changes to metadata and computes edge additions/removals for relationships.

            add: [] as Edge[]
        };

  • Generates the input schema specifically for update tools like update_artifact by copying properties from the base add schema, making them optional, and adding support for metadata and relationships.
    createUpdateSchema(excludeFields: Set<string> = new Set()): SchemaConfig {
        const schemaName = this.schema.name!.replace('add_', 'update_');
        const updateSchemaBuilder = new SchemaBuilder(
            schemaName,
            `Update an existing ${schemaName.replace('update_', '')} in the knowledge graph`
        );
    
        const baseProperties = this.schema.inputSchema!.properties[this.schema.name!.replace('add_', '')].properties;
    
        // Copy properties except excluded ones
        Object.entries(baseProperties).forEach(([propName, propValue]) => {
            if (!excludeFields.has(propName)) {
                if (propValue.type === 'array') {
                    updateSchemaBuilder.addArrayProperty(
                        propName,
                        propValue.description,
                        false,
                        propValue.items?.enum
                    );
                } else {
                    updateSchemaBuilder.addStringProperty(

                        false,
                        propValue.enum
                    );
                }
            }
        });
    
        // Copy relationships
        this.relationships.forEach((config, propName) => {

                    config.nodeType || null
                );
            }
        });
    
        // Add metadata array
        updateSchemaBuilder.addArrayProperty(
            'metadata',

  • Dynamically generates Tool objects including the update_<schemaName> tool from loaded schemas and adds them to the registry cache.
    private async generateToolsForSchema(schemaName: string, schema: SchemaBuilder): Promise<Tool[]> {
        const tools: Tool[] = [];
        const baseSchema = schema.build();
    
        // Add tool
        tools.push(baseSchema as unknown as Tool);
    
        // Update tool
        const updateSchema = schema.createUpdateSchema();
        tools.push(updateSchema as unknown as Tool);
    
        // Delete tool
        const deleteSchema: Tool = {
            name: `delete_${schemaName}`,
            description: `Delete
            an existing
            ${schemaName}
            from

            knowledge
            graph`,
            inputSchema: {
                type: "object",
                properties: {
                    [`delete_${schemaName}`]: {
                        type: "object",
                        description: `Delete parameters for ${schemaName}`,
                        properties: {

        tools.push(deleteSchema);
        return tools;
    }
  • Tool call dispatcher that matches 'update_<schema>' tool names and routes to the specific update handler.
    case 'update': {
        return handleSchemaUpdate(
            args[`update_${schemaName}`],
            schema,
            schemaName,
            knowledgeGraphManager
        );
    }
