Implementation Reference
- The handler function that implements the list_dashboards tool. It fetches all dashboards from the Metabase API endpoint '/api/dashboard' and returns a formatted text response listing up to 50 dashboards with their IDs and names.
async listDashboards() { this.logger.debug('Listing dashboards'); const dashboards = await this.apiClient.makeRequest('/api/dashboard'); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Found ${dashboards.length} dashboards: ${dashboards.slice(0, 50).map(d => `- ID: ${d.id} | Name: ${d.name}` ).join('\n')}${dashboards.length > 50 ? `\n... and ${dashboards.length - 50} more dashboards` : ''}`, }, ], }; } - The schema definition for the list_dashboards tool, specifying its name, description, and empty input schema (no parameters required). This is part of the TOOL_DEFINITIONS array used for tool discovery.
