Implementation Reference

• src/index.js:247-267 (handler)

  The handler function that implements the 'create_workflow' tool logic. It generates an AppleScript to create a new Automator workflow with the given name and type, executes it, and returns a success message.

  async createWorkflow(args) {
    // Simplified workflow creation - in real implementation would use Automator's plist format
    const workflowScript = `
      tell application "Automator"
        make new workflow
        set name of result to "${args.name}"
        save result
      end tell
    `;
    
    await this.runAppleScript(workflowScript);
    
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: `Created ${args.type} workflow: ${args.name}`,
        },
      ],
    };
  }

• src/index.js:65-94 (registration)

  Registration of the 'create_workflow' tool in the listTools response, including name, description, and input schema definition.

    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        name: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Name of the workflow',
        },
        type: {
          type: 'string',
          enum: ['workflow', 'application', 'service', 'quick-action'],
          description: 'Type of Automator document',
        },
        actions: {
          type: 'array',
          description: 'Array of action configurations',
          items: {
            type: 'object',
            properties: {
              action: { type: 'string' },
              parameters: { type: 'object' },
            },
          },
        },
      },
      required: ['name', 'type'],
    },
  },
