Implementation Reference
- src/tools/index.ts:361-384 (handler)The main execution handler for the set_calculated_property tool. It validates inputs, sends a request to the Studio bridge API endpoint '/api/set-calculated-property', and formats the response as MCP content.
async setCalculatedProperty( paths: string[], propertyName: string, formula: string, variables?: Record<string, any> ) { if (!paths || paths.length === 0 || !propertyName || !formula) { throw new Error('Paths, property name, and formula are required for set_calculated_property'); } const response = await this.client.request('/api/set-calculated-property', { paths, propertyName, formula, variables }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response, null, 2) } ] }; } - src/index.ts:546-571 (schema)The input schema definition registered for the set_calculated_property tool in the MCP ListTools response, defining parameters and validation rules.
