handler: async (args) => { const { user, limit = 20, offset = 0 } = UserParamsSchema.parse(args); const result = await apiClient.getUserFollowing(user, limit, offset); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ success: true, data: result, message: `Successfully retrieved ${result.items?.length || 0} users followed by ${user}` }, null, 2) }] }; } - server.js:571-590 (schema)Input schema for the 'get_user_following' tool defining parameters: user (required), limit, and offset.
