- src/tools/handlers/collection.ts:25-36 (handler)The handler function that performs the deletion of a PocketBase collection using pb.collections.delete() and returns a success message or throws handled errors.
export function createDeleteCollectionHandler(pb: PocketBase): ToolHandler { return async (args: { collection: string }) => { try { await pb.collections.delete(args.collection); return createJsonResponse({ success: true, message: `Collection '${args.collection}' deleted successfully` }); } catch (error: unknown) { throw handlePocketBaseError("delete collection", error); } }; - The input schema for the delete_collection tool, requiring a 'collection' string parameter.
