Implementation Reference

• src/tools/index.ts:936-966 (handler)

  The handler function for 'duplicate_sequence' tool. It generates an ExtendScript that retrieves the sequence by ID, clones it using originalSeq.clone(), renames the clone, and returns the new sequence ID.

  private async duplicateSequence(sequenceId: string, newName: string): Promise<any> {
    const script = `
      try {
        var originalSeq = app.project.getSequenceByID("${sequenceId}");
        if (!originalSeq) {
          JSON.stringify({
            success: false,
            error: "Sequence not found"
          });
          return;
        }
        
        var newSeq = originalSeq.clone();
        newSeq.name = "${newName}";
        
        JSON.stringify({
          success: true,
          originalSequenceId: "${sequenceId}",
          newSequenceId: newSeq.sequenceID,
          newName: "${newName}"
        });
      } catch (e) {
        JSON.stringify({
          success: false,
          error: e.toString()
        });
      }
    `;
    
    return await this.bridge.executeScript(script);
  }

• src/tools/index.ts:127-133 (schema)

  Defines the input schema using Zod for validating parameters: sequenceId (string) and newName (string). Part of the tool registration in getAvailableTools().

    name: 'duplicate_sequence',
    description: 'Creates a copy of an existing sequence with a new name.',
    inputSchema: z.object({
      sequenceId: z.string().describe('The ID of the sequence to duplicate'),
      newName: z.string().describe('The name for the new sequence copy')
    })
  },

• src/tools/index.ts:456-458 (registration)

  Registers the tool in the executeTool method's switch statement, mapping the tool name to the duplicateSequence handler.

  case 'duplicate_sequence':
    return await this.duplicateSequence(args.sequenceId, args.newName);
  case 'delete_sequence':
