Implementation Reference
- index.ts:85-88 (schema)Zod input schema for the delete_task tool, requiring requestId and taskId.
const DeleteTaskSchema = z.object({ requestId: z.string(), taskId: z.string(), }); - index.ts:190-194 (registration)Registration of the delete_task tool in the listTools method, including name, description, and schema reference.
{ name: "delete_task", description: "Delete a task from a request.", inputSchema: DeleteTaskSchema, }, - index.ts:278-284 (handler)Dispatcher case in callTool method that parses input using the schema and delegates to the deleteTask handler.
case "delete_task": { const parsed = DeleteTaskSchema.safeParse(parameters); if (!parsed.success) { throw new Error(`Invalid parameters: ${parsed.error}`); } return this.deleteTask(parsed.data.requestId, parsed.data.taskId); } - index.ts:563-587 (handler)Core handler implementation: finds the request and task, validates task is not done/approved, removes the task, saves data, returns success message with updated progress.
public async deleteTask(requestId: string, taskId: string) { const request = this.data.requests.find((r) => r.requestId === requestId); if (!request) { throw new Error("Request not found"); } const taskIndex = request.tasks.findIndex((t) => t.id === taskId); if (taskIndex === -1) { throw new Error("Task not found"); } const task = request.tasks[taskIndex]; if (task.done || task.approved) { throw new Error("Cannot delete completed or approved tasks"); } request.tasks.splice(taskIndex, 1); await this.saveTasks(); return { message: "Task deleted successfully.\n" + this.formatTaskProgressTable(requestId), }; }
