Implementation Reference

src/cv_resume_builder_mcp/server.py:432-474 (handler)

The primary handler function that executes the tool logic: runs 'git log' for the specified repository, filters by author (AUTHOR_NAME env var), excludes merge commits, limits by 'since' time string, and returns formatted commit list or errors.

Registers the tool handler by dispatching calls to 'get_git_log_by_repo' function in the main @app.call_tool() method.
```
elif name == "get_git_log_by_repo":
    return await get_git_log_by_repo(
        arguments.get("repo_name"),
        arguments.get("since", "6 months ago")
    )
