Implementation Reference
- The `handleRetweet` function implements the core logic for the 'retweet' tool. It validates the Twitter client, retrieves the authenticated user ID, performs the retweet using Twitter API v2, and returns a success message or throws a formatted error.
export const handleRetweet: TwitterHandler<TweetEngagementArgs> = async ( client: TwitterClient | null, { tweetId }: TweetEngagementArgs ): Promise<HandlerResponse> => { if (!client) { return createMissingTwitterApiKeyResponse('retweet'); } try { const userId = await client.v2.me().then((response: any) => response.data.id); await client.v2.retweet(userId, tweetId); return createResponse(`Successfully retweeted tweet: ${tweetId}`); } catch (error) { if (error instanceof Error) { throw new Error(formatTwitterError(error, 'retweeting')); } throw error; } }; - src/tools.ts:209-218 (schema)Input schema definition for the 'retweet' tool, specifying the required 'tweetId' parameter.
