• src/index.ts:169-186 (handler)

  The handler implementation registered via server.tool() for 'goalstory_read_self_user'. It performs a GET request to the /users endpoint using the doRequest helper and returns the user's profile data as formatted JSON text.

  server.tool(
    READ_SELF_USER_TOOL.name,
    READ_SELF_USER_TOOL.description,
    READ_SELF_USER_TOOL.inputSchema.shape,
    async (args) => {
      const url = `${GOALSTORY_API_BASE_URL}/users`;
      const result = await doRequest(url, "GET");
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `User data:\n${JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}`,
          },
        ],
        isError: false,
      };
    },
  );

• src/tools.ts:19-24 (schema)

      "Get the user's profile data including their preferences, belief systems, and past goal history to enable personalized goal storying and context-aware discussions.",
    inputSchema: z.object({}),
  };
