Implementation Reference
- server.py:195-200 (handler)Handler logic for the weather_search tool: extracts 'q' parameter, validates it, fetches data from search.json endpoint using the fetch helper, and serializes the result to JSON.
elif tool_name == "weather_search": q = arguments.get("q") if not q: raise ValueError("Location (q) is required") result = await fetch("search.json", {"q": q}) content = json.dumps(result, indent=2) - server.py:150-158 (schema)Input schema definition for the weather_search tool, specifying the required 'q' string parameter.
"inputSchema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "q": { "type": "string", "description": "Location query" } }, "required": ["q"] - server.py:147-160 (registration)Tool registration entry for weather_search in the tools/list response, including name, description, and schema.
