Implementation Reference

  • Main execution logic for hana_describe_table tool: handles args, defaults schema, validates inputs, queries table columns, formats and returns structure.
    static async describeTable(args) {
      logger.tool('hana_describe_table', args);
      
      let { schema_name, table_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'], 'hana_describe_table');
      if (!validation.valid) {
        return Formatters.createErrorResponse('Error: table_name parameter is required', validation.error);
      }
      
      // Validate schema and table 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);
      }
      
      try {
        const columns = await QueryExecutor.getTableColumns(schema_name, table_name);
        
        if (columns.length === 0) {
          return Formatters.createErrorResponse(`Table '${schema_name}.${table_name}' not found or no columns available`);
        }
        
        const formattedStructure = Formatters.formatTableStructure(columns, schema_name, table_name);
        
        return Formatters.createResponse(formattedStructure);
      } catch (error) {
        logger.error('Error describing table:', error.message);
        return Formatters.createErrorResponse('Error describing table', error.message);
      }
    }
  • Input schema definition for hana_describe_table, specifying optional schema_name and required table_name.
    {
      name: "hana_describe_table",
      description: "Describe the structure of a specific table",
      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 to describe"
          }
        },
        required: ["table_name"]
      }
    },
  • ToolRegistry maps tool names to implementations, registering hana_describe_table to TableTools.describeTable.
    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
    };
