Implementation Reference
- src/tools/comments.ts:209-217 (handler)The handler function implementing the core logic of the 'wp_update_comment' tool. It casts input parameters to UpdateCommentRequest type, invokes the WordPress client's updateComment method, and returns a success message or throws an error.
public async handleUpdateComment(client: WordPressClient, params: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<unknown> { try { const updateParams = params as unknown as UpdateCommentRequest & { id: number }; const comment = await client.updateComment(updateParams); return `✅ Comment ${comment.id} updated successfully. New status: ${comment.status}.`; } catch (_error) { throw new Error(`Failed to update comment: ${getErrorMessage(_error)}`); } } - src/tools/comments.ts:88-111 (registration)Registration of the 'wp_update_comment' MCP tool in CommentTools.getTools(), defining name, description, input parameters schema, and binding to the handler function.
