Implementation Reference
- src/tools/derived-product-tools.ts:42-52 (handler)The MCP tool handler (execute function) that calls the DpapiService method and returns the JSON-stringified result, with error handling.
execute: async (params) => { try { const result = await dpapiService.getExtremeWaterLevels(params); return JSON.stringify(result); } catch (error) { if (error instanceof Error) { throw new Error(`Failed to get extreme water levels: ${error.message}`); } throw new Error('Failed to get extreme water levels'); } } - src/schemas/dpapi.ts:22-26 (schema)Zod schema defining the input parameters for the get_extreme_water_levels tool (station, units, format).
export const ExtremeWaterLevelsSchema = z.object({ station: StationSchema, units: UnitsSchema, format: FormatSchema }).describe('Get extreme water levels for a station'); - src/tools/derived-product-tools.ts:38-53 (registration)Registration of the get_extreme_water_levels tool on the FastMCP server, including name, description, input schema, and handler.
server.addTool({ name: 'get_extreme_water_levels', description: 'Get extreme water levels and exceedance probabilities for a station', parameters: ExtremeWaterLevelsSchema, execute: async (params) => { try { const result = await dpapiService.getExtremeWaterLevels(params); return JSON.stringify(result); } catch (error) { if (error instanceof Error) { throw new Error(`Failed to get extreme water levels: ${error.message}`); } throw new Error('Failed to get extreme water levels'); } } }); - src/services/dpapi-service.ts:71-80 (helper)Supporting service method in DpapiService that constructs and fetches from the NOAA DPAPI '/ewl' endpoint for extreme water levels data.
async getExtremeWaterLevels(params: Record<string, any>): Promise<any> { const { station, units = 'english', format = 'json', ...rest } = params; return this.fetchDpapi('/ewl', { station, units, format, ...rest }); }
