Implementation Reference

• src/tools/clear-values.ts:26-40 (handler)

  The main handler function for the 'sheets_clear_values' tool. It validates the input, authenticates with Google Sheets API, clears the specified range, and returns a formatted response or handles errors.

  export async function handleClearValues(input: any) {
    try {
      const validatedInput = validateClearValuesInput(input);
      const sheets = await getAuthenticatedClient();
  
      const response = await sheets.spreadsheets.values.clear({
        spreadsheetId: validatedInput.spreadsheetId,
        range: validatedInput.range,
      });
  
      return formatClearResponse(response.data.clearedRange || validatedInput.range);
    } catch (error) {
      return handleError(error);
    }
  }

• src/tools/clear-values.ts:7-24 (schema)

  Tool definition including the input schema for 'sheets_clear_values', specifying required spreadsheetId and range parameters.

  export const clearValuesTool: Tool = {
    name: 'sheets_clear_values',
    description: 'Clear values in a specified range of a Google Sheets spreadsheet',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        spreadsheetId: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'The ID of the spreadsheet (found in the URL after /d/)',
        },
        range: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'The A1 notation range to clear (e.g., "Sheet1!A1:B10")',
        },
      },
      required: ['spreadsheetId', 'range'],
    },
  };

• src/index.ts:32-64 (registration)
