Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:303-323 (handler)Core handler function in ContemplationManager class that implements the logic for get_status tool: checks if subprocess is running, sends status request to it, and returns ContemplationStatus object with running state, PID, queue size, and last thought.
async getStatus(): Promise<ContemplationStatus> { const running = !!this.subprocess && !this.subprocess.killed; if (!running) { return { running: false, queue_size: 0 }; } // Send status request this.subprocess?.stdin?.write(JSON.stringify({ action: 'status' }) + '\n'); // For now, return basic status return { running: true, process_id: this.subprocess?.pid, queue_size: this.insights.filter(i => !i.used).length, last_thought: this.insights[this.insights.length - 1]?.content }; } - src/index.ts:550-555 (handler)MCP tool call dispatch handler that invokes contemplation.getStatus() and formats the response as MCP content.
case 'get_status': { const status = await contemplation.getStatus(); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(status, null, 2) }], }; } - src/index.ts:457-464 (registration)Tool registration in ListTools response, including name, description, and empty input schema.
{ name: 'get_status', description: 'Get contemplation loop status', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, }, - src/index.ts:80-86 (schema)TypeScript interface defining the output structure returned by getStatus() handler.
interface ContemplationStatus { running: boolean; process_id?: number; queue_size: number; last_thought?: string; uptime?: number; }
