Implementation Reference
- src/lib/handlers/documents.ts:70-89 (handler)Core implementation of the update_document tool handler. Checks access, fetches existing content if appending, constructs payload, calls Outline API /documents.update, returns formatted result.
async update_document(args: UpdateDocumentInput) { checkAccess(config, 'update_document'); let text = args.text; if (args.append && args.text) { const { data: existing } = await apiCall(() => apiClient.post<OutlineDocument>('/documents.info', { id: args.documentId }) ); text = (existing.text || '') + '\n\n' + args.text; } const payload: Record<string, unknown> = { id: args.documentId }; if (args.title) payload.title = args.title; if (text !== undefined) payload.text = text; const { data } = await apiCall(() => apiClient.post<OutlineDocument>('/documents.update', payload) ); return docResult(data, MESSAGES.DOCUMENT_UPDATED); }, - src/lib/schemas.ts:50-55 (schema)Zod schema defining input for update_document: documentId (required), title/text (optional), append (boolean). Used for validation and type inference.
export const updateDocumentSchema = z.object({ documentId, title: z.string().min(1).optional(), text: z.string().optional(), append: z.boolean().default(false), }); - src/lib/tools.ts:80-84 (registration)Registers the update_document tool definition with name, description, and schema reference for MCP tool discovery.
