Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that executes the wp_get_user tool logic: extracts user ID, fetches user data from WordPressClient, formats details (name, username, email, roles), and returns formatted string or throws error.
    public async handleGetUser(client: WordPressClient, params: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<unknown> {
      const { id } = params as { id: number };
      try {
        const user = await client.getUser(id);
        const content =
          `**User Details (ID: ${user.id})**\n\n` +
          `- **Name:** ${user.name}\n` +
          `- **Username:** ${user.slug}\n` +
          `- **Email:** ${user.email}\n` +
          `- **Roles:** ${user.roles?.join(", ") || "N/A"}`;
        return content;
      } catch (_error) {
        throw new Error(`Failed to get user: ${getErrorMessage(_error)}`);
      }
    }
  • The tool registration within UserTools.getTools(): defines name, description, input parameters schema, and binds to the handleGetUser handler.
    {
      name: "wp_get_user",
      description: "Retrieves a single user by their ID.",
      parameters: [
        {
          name: "id",
          type: "number",
          required: true,
          description: "The unique identifier for the user.",
        },
      ],
      handler: this.handleGetUser.bind(this),
    },
  • Input schema definition for the wp_get_user tool: requires a numeric 'id' parameter.
    parameters: [
      {
        name: "id",
        type: "number",
        required: true,
        description: "The unique identifier for the user.",
      },
    ],
