Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:423-444 (handler)The switch case that handles execution of the 'edit_message' tool. It destructures arguments, calls TelegramBot's editMessageText method with chat_id (CHANNEL_ID), message_id, text, and parse_mode, then returns a formatted success response.
case 'edit_message': { const { message_id, text, parse_mode = 'HTML' } = args as { message_id: number; text: string; parse_mode?: string; }; const result = await bot.editMessageText(text, { chat_id: CHANNEL_ID, message_id, parse_mode: parse_mode as any, }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `ā Message edited successfully!\n\nš± Channel: ${CHANNEL_ID}\nš Message ID: ${message_id}\nš New Text: ${text}`, }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:151-173 (registration)The tool registration entry in the ListToolsRequestSchema response array, defining name, description, and inputSchema for 'edit_message'.
