Implementation Reference
- src/index.js:562-625 (handler)The handler function for 'get_system_info' that executes a series of Linux system commands via WSL (uname, os-release, df, free, uptime, etc.) and returns a structured JSON response with the results.
async getSystemInfo() { if (!this.wslDistribution) { throw new Error("WSL distribution not configured"); } try { const commands = [ { cmd: "uname -a", desc: "System information" }, { cmd: "cat /etc/os-release", desc: "OS release information" }, { cmd: "whoami", desc: "Current user" }, { cmd: "pwd", desc: "Current directory" }, { cmd: "df -h", desc: "Disk usage" }, { cmd: "free -h", desc: "Memory usage" }, { cmd: "uptime", desc: "System uptime" }, { cmd: "cat /proc/version", desc: "Kernel version" } ]; const results = {}; for (const { cmd, desc } of commands) { try { const wslCommand = `wsl -d ${this.wslDistribution} -- ${cmd}`; const { stdout } = await execAsync(wslCommand); results[desc] = { command: cmd, output: stdout.trim() }; } catch (error) { results[desc] = { command: cmd, error: error.message }; } } return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ success: true, wslDistribution: this.wslDistribution, systemInfo: results, timestamp: new Date().toISOString() }, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ success: false, wslDistribution: this.wslDistribution, error: error.message, timestamp: new Date().toISOString() }, null, 2), }, ], }; } } - src/index.js:259-262 (schema)The input schema for the get_system_info tool, which requires no parameters (empty properties).
inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, }, - src/index.js:256-263 (registration)Registration of the 'get_system_info' tool in the ListTools response, including name, description, and schema.
{ name: "get_system_info", description: "Get system information about the WSL2 Linux environment", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, }, }, - src/index.js:290-291 (registration)Dispatch case in the CallToolRequestSchema handler that routes 'get_system_info' calls to the getSystemInfo method.
