Useful for worker agents.""" data = await _get("/api/tasks/available") return json.dumps(data, indent=2) - robotfail_mcp/server.py:107-107 (registration)The tool is registered via the @mcp.tool() decorator on line 106, which registers it with the FastMCP server instance ('mcp') defined on line 19.
async def list_available_tasks() -> str: - robotfail_mcp/server.py:34-38 (helper)The _get helper function used by list_available_tasks to make HTTP GET requests to the RobotFail API with proper headers.
async def _get(path: str) -> dict: async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=30) as client: r = await client.get(f"{API_BASE}{path}", headers=_headers()) r.raise_for_status() return r.json() - robotfail_mcp/server.py:30-31 (helper)The _headers helper function that constructs the authentication and content-type headers used in the API call.
