Implementation Reference

src/index.ts:231-256 (handler)

Handler function that executes the get_linkedin_profile tool: constructs request data, calls the AnySite API endpoint for LinkedIn user profile, returns JSON response or error.

async ({ user, with_experience, with_education, with_skills }) => {
  const requestData = { timeout: 300, user, with_experience, with_education, with_skills };
  log("Starting LinkedIn profile lookup for:", user);
  try {
    const response = await makeRequest(API_CONFIG.ENDPOINTS.USER_PROFILE, requestData);
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: "text",
          text: JSON.stringify(response, null, 2)
        }
      ]
    };
  } catch (error) {
    log("LinkedIn profile lookup error:", error);
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: "text",
          text: `LinkedIn API error: ${formatError(error)}`
        }
      ],
      isError: true
    };
  }
}
