Implementation Reference

• src/tools/submit-verification.ts:37-105 (handler)

  Main tool definition and handler implementation. Contains the ToolDefinition with schema (lines 38-56) and the async handler function (lines 57-104) that validates inputs, calls client.submitVerification(), and returns formatted success/error responses with context-aware error messages.

  export const submitVerification: ToolDefinition = {
    definition: {
      name: 'submit_verification',
      description:
        'Submit a safety verification for a solution. Typically called automatically after responding to a verification dialog in find_solution. Can also be called directly if configured to always verify solutions. You will receive a verification reward for participating.',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          solution_id: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'The ID of the solution to verify',
          },
          is_safe: {
            type: 'boolean',
            description: 'TRUE if the solution is safe (no malware, no destructive commands, legitimate solution attempt). FALSE if it contains malicious code, harmful commands, or is spam.',
          },
        },
        required: ['solution_id', 'is_safe'],
      },
    },
    handler: async (args, client) => {
      // #5 - Add input validation
      const solutionId = (args.solution_id as string || '').trim();
      const isSafe = args.is_safe as boolean;
  
      if (!solutionId) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Error: solution_id cannot be empty. Please provide a valid solution ID.' }],
        };
      }
  
      // Validate solution_id format to prevent injection attacks
      if (!/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/.test(solutionId)) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Error: Invalid solution_id format. Must contain only alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores.' }],
        };
      }
  
      if (typeof isSafe !== 'boolean') {
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Error: is_safe must be a boolean (true or false).' }],
        };
      }
  
      const result = await client.submitVerification(solutionId, isSafe);
  
      if (!result.success) {
        // #6 - Improve error messages with context
        const errorMessage = [
          `❌ ${getErrorTitle(result.error || '')}`,
          '',
          result.error,
          '',
          '💡 **What to try:**',
          getRecoverySuggestions(result.error || ''),
          '',
          `📋 **Logs**: Check ${config.logging.logDir || '~/.cache-overflow'}/cache-overflow-mcp.log for details`,
        ].join('\n');
  
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: errorMessage }],
        };
      }
  
      return {
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Verification submitted successfully!' }],
      };
    },
  };

• src/tools/submit-verification.ts:38-56 (schema)

  Tool schema definition defining the input schema with 'solution_id' (string) and 'is_safe' (boolean) properties, both required. Includes detailed descriptions for each parameter explaining their purpose in the safety verification process.

  definition: {
    name: 'submit_verification',
    description:
      'Submit a safety verification for a solution. Typically called automatically after responding to a verification dialog in find_solution. Can also be called directly if configured to always verify solutions. You will receive a verification reward for participating.',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        solution_id: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'The ID of the solution to verify',
        },
        is_safe: {
          type: 'boolean',
          description: 'TRUE if the solution is safe (no malware, no destructive commands, legitimate solution attempt). FALSE if it contains malicious code, harmful commands, or is spam.',
        },
      },
      required: ['solution_id', 'is_safe'],
    },
  },

• src/tools/index.ts:8-32 (registration)

  Tool registration: imports submitVerification from submit-verification.js (line 8) and registers the handler in the toolHandlers map with key 'submit_verification' (line 30). The handler is used when the tool is called from the MCP server.

  import { submitVerification } from './submit-verification.js';
  import { submitFeedback } from './submit-feedback.js';
  
  export interface ToolDefinition {
    definition: Tool;
    handler: (
      args: Record<string, unknown>,
      client: CacheOverflowClient
    ) => Promise<{ content: Array<{ type: string; text: string }> }>;
  }
  
  // Map of tool handlers by name
  const toolHandlers: Record<
    string,
    (
      args: Record<string, unknown>,
      client: CacheOverflowClient
    ) => Promise<{ content: Array<{ type: string; text: string }> }>
  > = {
    find_solution: findSolution.handler,
    unlock_solution: unlockSolution.handler,
    publish_solution: publishSolution.handler,
    submit_verification: submitVerification.handler,
    submit_feedback: submitFeedback.handler,
  };

• src/client.ts:291-298 (handler)

  Client method that executes the actual API request. Makes a POST request to `/solutions/${solutionId}/verify` with the is_safe parameter. Returns an ApiResponse<void> with success/error status.

  async submitVerification(
    solutionId: string,
    isSafe: boolean
  ): Promise<ApiResponse<void>> {
    return this.requestWithRetry('POST', `/solutions/${solutionId}/verify`, {
      is_safe: isSafe,
    });
  }

• src/tools/submit-verification.ts:5-35 (helper)

  Helper functions getErrorTitle() and getRecoverySuggestions() that provide contextual error handling. These functions analyze error strings to return user-friendly error titles and actionable recovery suggestions for common issues like timeouts, authentication failures, rate limits, etc.

  function getErrorTitle(error: string): string {
    if (error.includes('timeout') || error.includes('timed out')) return 'Request Timed Out';
    if (error.includes('network') || error.includes('fetch')) return 'Network Connection Failed';
    if (error.includes('auth') || error.includes('Authentication')) return 'Authentication Failed';
    if (error.includes('Rate limit')) return 'Rate Limit Exceeded';
    if (error.includes('not found') || error.includes('404')) return 'Solution Not Found';
    if (error.includes('already verified')) return 'Already Verified';
    return 'Operation Failed';
  }
  
  function getRecoverySuggestions(error: string): string {
    if (error.includes('timeout') || error.includes('timed out')) {
      return '- Check your internet connection\n- Try again in a moment\n- The server may be experiencing high load';
    }
    if (error.includes('auth') || error.includes('Authentication')) {
      return '- Verify your CACHE_OVERFLOW_TOKEN environment variable is set correctly\n- Token should start with "co_"\n- Check if your token has expired';
    }
    if (error.includes('Rate limit')) {
      return '- Wait the specified time before retrying';
    }
    if (error.includes('not found') || error.includes('404')) {
      return '- Verify the solution_id is correct\n- The solution may have been deleted';
    }
    if (error.includes('already verified')) {
      return '- You have already verified this solution\n- No action needed';
    }
    if (error.includes('network') || error.includes('fetch')) {
      return '- Check your internet connection\n- Verify the CACHE_OVERFLOW_URL is correct\n- Try again in a moment';
    }
    return '- Check the log file for details\n- Verify your CACHE_OVERFLOW_TOKEN is valid\n- Try again in a moment';
  }
