Implementation Reference
- src/radicle_mcp/server.py:115-134 (handler)The handler function for the 'rad_clone' tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool() which registers it as an MCP tool. Executes the 'rad clone' command using the shared run_rad_command helper, handling the RID and optional path parameters, and returns success/error messages.
