Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:457-483 (handler)The handler function for the 'validate_mode' tool. It extracts the mode object from the request arguments, attempts to parse/validate it using CustomModeSchema.parse(), and returns a success message or an error message with isError: true.
case 'validate_mode': { const { mode } = request.params.arguments as { mode: z.infer<typeof CustomModeSchema>; }; try { CustomModeSchema.parse(mode); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: 'Mode configuration is valid', }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Invalid mode configuration: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } } - src/index.ts:50-56 (schema)Zod schema (CustomModeSchema) defining the structure and validation rules for a custom mode configuration, used directly in the validate_mode handler for input validation.
const CustomModeSchema = z.object({ slug: z.string().regex(/^[a-z0-9-]+$/), name: z.string().min(1), roleDefinition: z.string().min(1), groups: z.array(GroupSchema), customInstructions: z.string().optional(), }); - src/index.ts:305-325 (registration)Tool registration in the list_tools handler, defining the name, description, and JSON input schema for the validate_mode tool.
