Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:198-220 (registration)Registration of the 'advanced_search' tool including its name, description, and input schema.
{ name: "advanced_search", description: "Search with additional filters like category and result limit", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { query: { type: "string", description: "Search query", }, category: { type: "string", description: "Optional: filter by category", }, limit: { type: "number", description: "Maximum results to return", default: 5, }, }, required: ["query"], }, }, - src/index.ts:423-474 (handler)Handler function for executing the 'advanced_search' tool. It searches the knowledge base, applies optional category filter and limit, formats results as JSON, caches the response, and returns it.
if (name === "advanced_search") { const query = args?.query as string; const category = args?.category as string | undefined; const limit = (args?.limit as number) || 5; if (!query) { throw new Error("Query parameter is required"); } let results = searchKnowledge(query, knowledgeBase.length); // Apply category filter if provided if (category) { results = results.filter( (item) => item.category.toLowerCase() === category.toLowerCase() ); } // Apply limit results = results.slice(0, limit); const responseText = JSON.stringify( { query, filters: { category: category || "none", limit, }, resultsCount: results.length, results: results.map((r) => ({ id: r.id, content: r.content, category: r.category, metadata: r.metadata, })), }, null, 2 ); // Cache the response setCache(cacheKey, responseText); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: responseText, }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:111-119 (helper)Helper function used by advanced_search to perform initial keyword search on the knowledge base.
function searchKnowledge(query: string, limit: number = 5): KnowledgeEntry[] { const lowerQuery = query.toLowerCase(); return knowledgeBase .filter((item) => item.content.toLowerCase().includes(lowerQuery) || item.category.toLowerCase().includes(lowerQuery) ) .slice(0, limit); } - src/index.ts:14-22 (helper)Type definition for knowledge base entries used in advanced_search results.
