Implementation Reference

  • index.js:33-33 (registration)
    Registration of the 'pdf_extract' tool in the TOOLS array.
    { name: 'pdf_extract', description: 'Extract text from a PDF file', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { url: { type: 'string', description: 'PDF URL' } }, required: ['url'] }, endpoint: '/pdf/extract', price: '$0.003' },
  • index.js:50-79 (handler)
    Generic callTool function that dispatches the API request for all tools, including 'pdf_extract'.
    async function callTool(endpoint, params) {
      const fetch = (await import('node-fetch')).default;
      const isGet = ['GET'].includes((TOOLS.find(t => t.endpoint === endpoint) || {}).method);
      
      const url = isGet 
        ? `${BASE_URL}${endpoint}?${new URLSearchParams(params)}`
        : `${BASE_URL}${endpoint}`;
      
      const res = await fetch(url, {
        method: isGet ? 'GET' : 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
        },
        body: isGet ? undefined : JSON.stringify(params),
      });
      
      const text = await res.text();
      let data;
      try { data = JSON.parse(text); } catch { data = { raw: text }; }
      
      if (!res.ok) {
        if (res.status === 402) {
          throw new Error(`Insufficient credits. Add credits at https://iteratools.com. Cost: ${TOOLS.find(t=>t.endpoint===endpoint)?.price || 'see docs'}`);
        }
        throw new Error(`API error ${res.status}: ${text.substring(0, 200)}`);
      }
      
      return data;
    }
