async ({ indexUid }) => { try { const response = await apiClient.get(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } } - src/tools/settings-tools.ts:152-154 (schema)Input schema using Zod: requires 'indexUid' string parameter.
{ indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"), }, - src/tools/settings-tools.ts:148-166 (registration)Dynamic registration of the 'get-distinct-attribute' tool via loop over specificSettingsTools array, using server.tool(name, description, schema, handler).
specificSettingsTools.forEach(({ name, endpoint, description }) => { server.tool( name, description, { indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"), }, async ({ indexUid }) => { try { const response = await apiClient.get(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } } ); }); - src/tools/settings-tools.ts:125-129 (helper)Configuration entry in specificSettingsTools array defining name, endpoint, and description for the tool.
