Implementation Reference
- src/tools/handlers.ts:238-270 (handler)The primary handler function for the 'backlog_delete_issue' tool. It parses the input arguments using DeleteIssueParamsSchema, calls issueService.deleteIssue with the validated parameters, and formats the response or error.
const handleDeleteIssue: ToolHandler = async (args) => { try { try { const validatedParams = DeleteIssueParamsSchema.parse(args); const text = await issueService.deleteIssue(validatedParams); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Results for your query:\n${text}`, }, ], isError: false, }; } catch (validationError) { throw new ValidationError( `Invalid parameters: ${validationError instanceof Error ? validationError.message : String(validationError)}`, ); } } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error: ${formatError(error)}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } }; - src/tools/handlers.ts:442-455 (registration)Registers the 'backlog_delete_issue' tool name to its corresponding handler function handleDeleteIssue within the toolHandlers map.
