Implementation Reference
- src/tools/linting.ts:116-130 (handler)Handler logic for the 'validate_syntax' tool: parses input files, calls validateSyntax helper on each, and returns validation results per file.
case 'validate_syntax': { const files = params.files as string[]; const codeFiles = await FileReader.readFiles(files.join(',')); const results = codeFiles.map((file) => { const validation = lintingUtils.validateSyntax( file.content, file.language || 'javascript' ); return { file: file.path, ...validation, }; }); return results; } - src/tools/linting.ts:56-70 (registration)Tool registration defining name, description, and input schema for 'validate_syntax'.
{ name: 'validate_syntax', description: 'Validate syntax of code files', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { files: { type: 'array', items: { type: 'string' }, description: 'File paths to validate', }, }, required: ['files'], }, }, - src/tools/linting.ts:59-69 (schema)Input schema defining the expected parameters: array of file paths.
inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { files: { type: 'array', items: { type: 'string' }, description: 'File paths to validate', }, }, required: ['files'], }, - src/utils/linting-utils.ts:165-193 (helper)Helper function implementing basic syntax validation by matching braces, parentheses, and brackets for JS/TS code.
validateSyntax(code: string, language: string): { valid: boolean; errors: string[] } { const errors: string[] = []; if (language === 'javascript' || language === 'typescript') { // Basic bracket matching const openBracesCount = (code.match(/{/g) || []).length; const closeBracesCount = (code.match(/}/g) || []).length; if (openBracesCount !== closeBracesCount) { errors.push('Unmatched braces'); } const openParens = (code.match(/\(/g) || []).length; const closeParens = (code.match(/\)/g) || []).length; if (openParens !== closeParens) { errors.push('Unmatched parentheses'); } const openBrackets = (code.match(/\[/g) || []).length; const closeBrackets = (code.match(/\]/g) || []).length; if (openBrackets !== closeBrackets) { errors.push('Unmatched brackets'); } } return { valid: errors.length === 0, errors, }; }
