Implementation Reference

  • The handler function IndexTools.describeIndex that implements the core logic for the hana_describe_index tool: validates parameters, fetches index details via QueryExecutor, formats output, and handles errors.
    static async describeIndex(args) {
      logger.tool('hana_describe_index', args);
      
      let { schema_name, table_name, index_name } = args || {};
      
      // Use default schema if not provided
      if (!schema_name) {
        if (config.hasDefaultSchema()) {
          schema_name = config.getDefaultSchema();
          logger.info(`Using default schema: ${schema_name}`);
        } else {
          return Formatters.createErrorResponse(
            'Schema name is required', 
            'Please provide schema_name parameter or set HANA_SCHEMA environment variable'
          );
        }
      }
      
      // Validate required parameters
      const validation = Validators.validateRequired(args, ['table_name', 'index_name'], 'hana_describe_index');
      if (!validation.valid) {
        return Formatters.createErrorResponse('Error: table_name and index_name parameters are required', validation.error);
      }
      
      // Validate schema, table, and index names
      const schemaValidation = Validators.validateSchemaName(schema_name);
      if (!schemaValidation.valid) {
        return Formatters.createErrorResponse('Invalid schema name', schemaValidation.error);
      }
      
      const tableValidation = Validators.validateTableName(table_name);
      if (!tableValidation.valid) {
        return Formatters.createErrorResponse('Invalid table name', tableValidation.error);
      }
      
      const indexValidation = Validators.validateIndexName(index_name);
      if (!indexValidation.valid) {
        return Formatters.createErrorResponse('Invalid index name', indexValidation.error);
      }
      
      try {
        const results = await QueryExecutor.getIndexDetails(schema_name, table_name, index_name);
        
        const formattedDetails = Formatters.formatIndexDetails(results, schema_name, table_name, index_name);
        
        return Formatters.createResponse(formattedDetails);
      } catch (error) {
        logger.error('Error describing index:', error.message);
        return Formatters.createErrorResponse('Error describing index', error.message);
      }
    }
  • The input schema definition for hana_describe_index, specifying properties and required fields: table_name and index_name.
      name: "hana_describe_index",
      description: "Describe the structure of a specific index",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          schema_name: {
            type: "string",
            description: "Name of the schema containing the table (optional)"
          },
          table_name: {
            type: "string",
            description: "Name of the table containing the index"
          },
          index_name: {
            type: "string",
            description: "Name of the index to describe"
          }
        },
        required: ["table_name", "index_name"]
      }
    },
  • Tool registration mapping 'hana_describe_index' to IndexTools.describeIndex in the TOOL_IMPLEMENTATIONS object used by ToolRegistry.
    const TOOL_IMPLEMENTATIONS = {
      hana_show_config: ConfigTools.showConfig,
      hana_test_connection: ConfigTools.testConnection,
      hana_show_env_vars: ConfigTools.showEnvVars,
      hana_list_schemas: SchemaTools.listSchemas,
      hana_list_tables: TableTools.listTables,
      hana_describe_table: TableTools.describeTable,
      hana_list_indexes: IndexTools.listIndexes,
      hana_describe_index: IndexTools.describeIndex,
      hana_execute_query: QueryTools.executeQuery
    };
