Implementation Reference
- src/tools/index.py:36-44 (handler)The MCP tool handler function for 'delete_index'. It is decorated with @mcp.tool() and delegates the deletion to the underlying search client.
@mcp.tool() def delete_index(index: str) -> Dict: """ Delete an index. Args: index: Name of the index """ return self.search_client.delete_index(index=index) - src/clients/common/index.py:18-20 (helper)The underlying client method implementation that performs the actual index deletion using the Elasticsearch/OpenSearch client.
def delete_index(self, index: str) -> Dict: """Delete an index.""" return self.client.indices.delete(index=index) - src/server.py:41-53 (registration)Registration of IndexTools (containing delete_index) via ToolsRegister.register_all_tools during server initialization.
register = ToolsRegister(self.logger, self.search_client, self.mcp) # Define all tool classes to register tool_classes = [ IndexTools, DocumentTools, ClusterTools, AliasTools, DataStreamTools, GeneralTools, ] # Register all tools register.register_all_tools(tool_classes) - src/risk_config.py:10-14 (helper)Configuration marking 'delete_index' as a high-risk operation for IndexTools, which can conditionally disable its registration.
