Implementation Reference
- src/executor.ts:613-646 (handler)The core handler function that performs the PATCH HTTP request using Playwright's APIRequestContext, processes the response, and returns the tool result.
async function handleApiPatch(client: APIRequestContext, args: any): Promise<{ toolResult: CallToolResult }> { try { const options = { data: args.data, headers: args.headers || { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }; const response = await client.patch(args.url, options); const responseData = await getResponseData(response); return { toolResult: { content: [ { type: "text", text: `PATCH ${args.url} - Status: ${response.status()}`, }, ...responseData ], isError: false, }, }; } catch (error) { return { toolResult: { content: [{ type: "text", text: `PATCH request failed: ${(error as Error).message}`, }], isError: true, }, }; } } - src/tools.ts:182-197 (registration)The tool registration object defining the name, description, and input schema for 'api_patch', returned by registerTools().

case "api_patch": return await handleApiPatch(apiClient!, args); - src/tools.ts:14-20 (registration)Array listing 'api_patch' among API tools, used to determine if API client initialization is needed.
