server.tool("remove_delegate", "Removes the specified delegate", { delegateEmail: z.string().describe("Email address of delegate to remove") }, async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.delegates.delete({ userId: 'me', delegateEmail: params.delegateEmail }) return formatResponse(data) }) } ) - src/index.ts:980-985 (handler)Handler function for the 'remove_delegate' tool. It invokes handleTool (shared helper) which performs OAuth validation and executes the Gmail API call to delete the delegate.
async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.delegates.delete({ userId: 'me', delegateEmail: params.delegateEmail }) return formatResponse(data) }) } - src/index.ts:977-979 (schema)Input schema for the 'remove_delegate' tool using Zod, requiring a delegateEmail string.
{ delegateEmail: z.string().describe("Email address of delegate to remove") }, - src/index.ts:50-80 (helper)Shared 'handleTool' helper function used by 'remove_delegate' (and all tools) to manage OAuth2 client creation, credential validation, Gmail client instantiation, API execution, and error handling.
const handleTool = async (queryConfig: Record<string, any> | undefined, apiCall: (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => Promise<any>) => { try { const oauth2Client = queryConfig ? createOAuth2Client(queryConfig) : defaultOAuth2Client if (!oauth2Client) throw new Error('OAuth2 client could not be created, please check your credentials') const credentialsAreValid = await validateCredentials(oauth2Client) if (!credentialsAreValid) throw new Error('OAuth2 credentials are invalid, please re-authenticate') const gmailClient = queryConfig ? google.gmail({ version: 'v1', auth: oauth2Client }) : defaultGmailClient if (!gmailClient) throw new Error('Gmail client could not be created, please check your credentials') const result = await apiCall(gmailClient) return result } catch (error: any) { // Check for specific authentication errors if ( error.message?.includes("invalid_grant") || error.message?.includes("refresh_token") || error.message?.includes("invalid_client") || error.message?.includes("unauthorized_client") || error.code === 401 || error.code === 403 ) { return formatResponse({ error: `Authentication failed: ${error.message}. Please re-authenticate by running: npx @shinzolabs/gmail-mcp auth`, }); } return formatResponse({ error: `Tool execution failed: ${error.message}` }); } }
