type: "object",
properties: {
param1: {
type: "string",
description: "Description",

},
required: ["param1"],
},
},
];
server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => {
const { name, arguments: args } = request;
if (name === "my_tool") {
const parsed = MyToolSchema.parse(args);
return {
content: [
{
type: "text",
text: `Result: ${parsed.param1}`,
},
],
};
}
});Testing
