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().
