Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:346-440 (handler)Execute handler for 'extract_feed_content' tool: fetches RSS feed from cache or network, formats each item's content in the requested format (markdown, html, text, json) with optional metadata, and returns structured JSON output.
execute: async (args, context) => { logger.info( `Extracting content from: ${args.url} (format: ${args.format})` ); // Fetch feed let feed: FeedResult | null = feedCache.get(args.url); if (!feed) { feed = await rssReader.fetchFeed(args.url); feedCache.set(args.url, feed); } // Format content based on requested format const formatItem = (item: FeedItem): string | object => { const content = item.content || item.description || ""; const metadata = { title: item.title, author: item.author, published: item.published ? new Date(item.published).toISOString() : null, url: item.url, categories: item.categories, }; if (args.format === "json") { return args.includeMetadata === 'true' ? { ...metadata, content } : { content }; } const metadataText = args.includeMetadata === 'true' ?
