Implementation Reference
- The handler function that executes the 'search_all' tool logic by mapping input arguments to the server's searchAll method.
handler: (args: SearchAllArgs) => server.searchAll({ query: args.query, sources: args.sources, elementType: args.type as any, page: args.page, pageSize: args.page_size, sortBy: args.sort_by as any }) - The input schema defining parameters, types, descriptions, and requirements for the 'search_all' tool.
