Implementation Reference
- src/tasks/tools.ts:97-126 (handler)The execute function for the 'list_tasks' tool. Validates parameters using ListTasksSchema, retrieves all tasks from taskStorage, applies optional filters by status and priority, and returns the filtered list with count.
execute: async (params: any) => { try { // Validate input parameters const validatedParams = ListTasksSchema.parse(params); const allTasks = taskStorage.getAll(); const filter: Partial<Task> = {}; if (validatedParams.status) filter.status = validatedParams.status; if (validatedParams.priority) filter.priority = validatedParams.priority; // Apply filters if any const filteredTasks = Object.keys(filter).length > 0 ? allTasks.filter(task => { return Object.entries(filter).every(([key, value]) => task[key as keyof Task] === value ); }) : allTasks; return JSON.stringify({ tasks: filteredTasks, count: filteredTasks.length, filters: Object.keys(filter).length > 0 ? filter : "none" }); } catch (error) { return JSON.stringify({ error: `Invalid list parameters: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` }); } } - src/tasks/tools.ts:26-30 (schema)Zod schema defining optional parameters for list_tasks: status (TaskStatusEnum) and priority (TaskPriorityEnum).
// Schema for list_tasks parameters const ListTasksSchema = z.object({ status: TaskStatusEnum.optional(), priority: TaskPriorityEnum.optional() }); - src/tasks/tools.ts:94-127 (registration)Registration of the 'list_tasks' tool on the FastMCP server instance, specifying name, description, and execute handler.
