• src/spix_mcp/tools.py:94-204 (handler)

  The `create_tool_handler` function in `src/spix_mcp/tools.py` is the centralized handler for executing MCP tools. It dispatches to the backend API based on the tool schema.

  async def create_tool_handler(
      session: McpSessionContext,
      tool_name: str,
      arguments: dict,
  ) -> list:
      """Execute an MCP tool call by dispatching to the backend API.
  
      This function:
      1. Resolves the tool name to a command schema
      2. Validates session scope (playbook access, channel access)
      3. Builds the API request
      4. Dispatches to the backend
      5. Returns the response as MCP TextContent
  
      Args:
          session: The MCP session context for scope validation.
          tool_name: The MCP tool name (e.g., "spix_playbook_create").
          arguments: The tool arguments from the MCP client.
  
      Returns:
          List containing a single TextContent with the JSON response.

  The definition for the `email.list` tool (which manifests as `spix_email_list`) is in `src/spix_mcp/registry.py`. The tool name mapping logic in `src/spix_mcp/tools.py` converts "spix_email_list" to "email.list" for registry lookup.
