get_last_updated

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:339-342 (handler)

  The actual handler function `getLastUpdated()` that calls the 'crime-last-updated' API endpoint and returns the date string.

  async function getLastUpdated() {
    const data = await makeApiRequest('crime-last-updated');
    return data?.date || '';
  }

• src/index.ts:88-95 (schema)

  The tool definition/schema for 'get_last_updated' including name, description, and empty inputSchema (no parameters).

  {
    name: 'get_last_updated',
    description: 'Retrieve the date when crime data was last updated',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {}
    }
  },

• src/index.ts:447-469 (registration)

  The toolFunctions mapping that registers 'get_last_updated: getLastUpdated' so the CallToolRequestSchema handler can dispatch to it.

  const toolFunctions = {
    get_street_level_crimes: getStreetLevelCrimes,
    get_street_level_outcomes: getStreetLevelOutcomes,
    get_crimes_at_location: getCrimesAtLocation,
    get_crimes_no_location: getCrimesNoLocation,
    get_crime_categories: getCrimeCategories,
    get_last_updated: getLastUpdated,
    get_outcomes_for_crime: getOutcomesForCrime,
    get_list_of_forces: getListOfForces,
    get_force_details: getForceDetails,
    get_senior_officers: getSeniorOfficers,
    get_neighbourhoods: getNeighbourhoods,
    get_neighbourhood_details: getNeighbourhoodDetails,
    get_neighbourhood_boundary: getNeighbourhoodBoundary,
    get_neighbourhood_team: getNeighbourhoodTeam,
    get_neighbourhood_events: getNeighbourhoodEvents,
    get_neighbourhood_priorities: getNeighbourhoodPriorities,
    locate_neighbourhood: locateNeighbourhood,
    get_stop_searches_by_area: getStopSearchesByArea,
    get_stop_searches_by_location: getStopSearchesByLocation,
    get_stop_searches_no_location: getStopSearchesNoLocation,
    get_stop_searches_by_force: getStopSearchesByForce
  };

• src/index.ts:8-20 (helper)

  The `makeApiRequest` helper function used by getLastUpdated to call the police.uk API.

  // Helper function to make API requests to police.uk
  async function makeApiRequest(endpoint: string, params?: Record<string, any>) {
    const baseUrl = 'https://data.police.uk/api';
    const url = `${baseUrl}/${endpoint}`;
    
    try {
      const response = await axios.get(url, { params, timeout: 10000 });
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`API request failed: ${error}`);
      return null;
    }
  }
