Implementation Reference
- src/tools/builtin/select_site.ts:17-35 (handler)The main handler function that executes the tool: validates the site URL by fetching /about.json, selects the site in state, attempts remote tool registration if enabled, and returns a success or error message.
async ({ site }, _extra: any) => { try { const { base, client } = ctx.siteState.buildClientForSite(site); // Validate by fetching /about.json const about = (await client.get(`/about.json`)) as any; const title = about?.about?.title || about?.title || base; ctx.siteState.selectSite(base); // Attempt remote tool discovery if enabled if (opts.toolsMode && opts.toolsMode !== "discourse_api_only") { await tryRegisterRemoteTools(server, ctx.siteState, ctx.logger); } const text = `Selected site: ${base}\nTitle: ${title}`; return { content: [{ type: "text", text }] }; } catch (e: any) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Failed to select site: ${e?.message || String(e)}` }], isError: true }; } } - src/tools/builtin/select_site.ts:6-8 (schema)Zod schema defining the input parameter 'site' as a URL string.
