Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:694-700 (handler)The handler function for the 'untrash_message' tool. It invokes the shared 'handleTool' helper to authenticate, call the Gmail API's users.messages.untrash method with the provided message ID, and format the response.
async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.messages.untrash({ userId: 'me', id: params.id }) return formatResponse(data) }) } ) - src/index.ts:691-693 (schema)The Zod input schema for the 'untrash_message' tool, requiring a single 'id' parameter which is the Gmail message ID.
{ id: z.string().describe("The ID of the message to remove from trash") }, - src/index.ts:689-700 (registration)The MCP server.tool registration for the 'untrash_message' tool, specifying the name, description, input schema, and handler function.
server.tool("untrash_message", "Remove a message from the trash", { id: z.string().describe("The ID of the message to remove from trash") }, async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.messages.untrash({ userId: 'me', id: params.id }) return formatResponse(data) }) } ) - src/index.ts:50-80 (helper)Shared helper function 'handleTool' used by untrash_message (and other tools) to handle OAuth2 authentication, credential validation, Gmail client creation, API call execution, and standardized 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}` }); } }
