Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:438-469 (handler)Handler for the get_command_history tool: checks if logging is enabled, validates input limit with Zod schema, retrieves recent history entries from this.commandHistory, truncates outputs, and returns them as formatted JSON.
case "get_command_history": { if (!this.config.security.logCommands) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Command history is disabled in configuration. Consult the server admin for configuration changes (config.json - logCommands)." }] }; } const args = z.object({ limit: z.number() .min(1) .max(this.config.security.maxHistorySize) .optional() .default(10) }).parse(request.params.arguments); const history = this.commandHistory .slice(-args.limit) .map(entry => ({ ...entry, output: entry.output.slice(0, 1000) // Limit output size })); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(history, null, 2) }] }; } - src/types/config.ts:52-58 (schema)Type definition for CommandHistoryEntry, which structures the data returned by the get_command_history tool.
export interface CommandHistoryEntry { command: string; output: string; timestamp: string; exitCode: number; connectionId?: string; } - src/index.ts:176-207 (registration)Tool registration in ListTools handler, including name, description, and inputSchema for get_command_history.
