- The handler function that parses input arguments using the schema, makes an HTTP request to the Marvel API endpoint for characters in a specific comic, and parses the response using CharacterDataWrapperSchema.
handler: async (args: any) => { const { comicId, ...rest } = GetComicCharactersSchema.parse(args); const res = await httpRequest(`/comics/${comicId}/characters`, serializeQueryParams(rest)); return CharacterDataWrapperSchema.parse(res); } - Zod schema defining the input parameters for the get_characters_for_comic tool, extending GetComicByIdSchema with additional optional filters for characters.
export const GetComicCharactersSchema = GetComicByIdSchema.extend({ name: z.string().optional(), nameStartsWith: z.string().optional(), modifiedSince: z.string().optional(), series: z.string().optional(), events: z.string().optional(), stories: z.string().optional(), orderBy: z.string().optional(), limit: z.number().min(1).max(100).optional(), offset: z.number().optional(), }); - src/tools/get_characters_for_comic/index.ts:6-14 (registration)Exports the tool definition object including description, input schema, and handler function, likely used for MCP tool registration.
