Implementation Reference
- src/tools/objectSearch.ts:8-33 (handler)The handler function implementing the core logic of mcp_get_dependencies, querying sys.sql_expression_dependencies for object dependencies.
export const mcp_get_dependencies = async (args: { object_name: string }): Promise<ToolResult<any[]>> => { const { object_name } = args; console.log('Executing mcp_get_dependencies with:', { object_name }); try { const pool = getPool(); const query = ` SELECT referenced_schema_name, referenced_entity_name, referenced_database_name, referenced_server_name FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies WHERE referencing_id = OBJECT_ID(@object_name); `; const result = await pool.request() .input('object_name', object_name) .query(query); return { success: true, data: result.recordset }; } catch (error: any) { console.error(`Error in mcp_get_dependencies for object ${object_name}:`, error); return { success: false, error: error.message }; } - src/tools.ts:173-186 (registration)Tool registration in MCP_MSQL_TOOLS array, defining the tool name, description, and input schema validation.
