hashData
Generate cryptographic hashes for data using algorithms like SHA256 or MD5 to verify integrity or create digital fingerprints.
Instructions

Implementation Reference
- src/tools/security.ts:30-58 (handler)The core handler function for the 'hashData' tool. It hashes the provided input string using the specified algorithm (default: sha256) and encoding (default: hex) via Node.js 'crypto.createHash', then returns a structured JSON response containing the inputs and computed hash.
handler: async ({ input, algorithm = 'sha256', encoding = 'hex' }: { input: string; algorithm?: HashAlgorithm; encoding?: 'hex' | 'base64' }) => { try { const hash = createHash(algorithm) .update(input) .digest(encoding); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ input, algorithm, encoding, hash }, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error) { throw new Error(`Hashing failed: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`); } } - src/tools/security.ts:8-29 (schema)Input schema for the 'hashData' tool, defining required 'input' string, optional 'algorithm' enum (md5/sha1/sha256/sha512), and optional 'encoding' enum (hex/base64).
inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { input: { type: 'string', description: 'Data to hash' }, algorithm: { type: 'string', description: 'Hash algorithm to use', enum: ['md5', 'sha1', 'sha256', 'sha512'], default: 'sha256' }, encoding: { type: 'string', description: 'Output encoding', enum: ['hex', 'base64'], default: 'hex' } }, required: ['input'] }, - src/index.ts:10-10 (registration)Import statement that brings in the securityTools object, which defines and exports the 'hashData' tool.
import { securityTools } from './tools/security.js'; - src/index.ts:28-35 (registration)Merges 'securityTools' (containing 'hashData') into the central 'allTools' registry, making it available for MCP server tool listing and execution handlers.
