Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:2239-2253 (handler)Handler function that implements the 'list_scaling_activities' tool. It takes an Auto Scaling Group name, calls DescribeScalingActivitiesCommand via asgClient, maps the response to a simplified activity list, and returns it as JSON.
if (name === "list_scaling_activities") { const groupName = (args as any).auto_scaling_group_name; const command = new DescribeScalingActivitiesCommand({ AutoScalingGroupName: groupName, MaxRecords: 10 }); const response = await asgClient.send(command); const activities = response.Activities?.map(a => ({ ActivityId: a.ActivityId, Description: a.Description, Cause: a.Cause, StartTime: a.StartTime, StatusCode: a.StatusCode })) || []; return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(activities, null, 2) }] }; } - src/index.ts:741-751 (registration)Registration of the 'list_scaling_activities' tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler, including the tool name, description, and input schema definition.
