Implementation Reference

src/index.ts:488-505 (handler)

The asynchronous handler function that executes the core logic of the 'get_template_details' tool. It constructs the Anytype API endpoint using the provided space_id, type_id, and template_id, performs a GET request via makeRequest, and returns the JSON-formatted response data or propagates errors through handleApiError.

async ({ space_id, type_id, template_id }) => {
  try {
    const response = await this.makeRequest(
      "get",
      `/spaces/${space_id}/types/${type_id}/templates/${template_id}`
    );
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: "text" as const,
          text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2),
        },
      ],
    };
  } catch (error) {
    return this.handleApiError(error);
  }
}
