Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/product-handlers.js:149-173 (handler)Handler function updateProduct that constructs the update payload from args and delegates to InflowClient.upsertProduct for the actual API update.
async updateProduct(client, args) { if (!args.productId) { return { success: false, error: 'productId is required' }; } // Build update object with only provided fields const updates = { productId: args.productId }; if (args.name !== undefined) updates.name = args.name; if (args.sku !== undefined) updates.sku = args.sku; if (args.description !== undefined) updates.description = args.description; if (args.isActive !== undefined) updates.isActive = args.isActive; // Merge any additional fields if (args.additionalFields) { Object.assign(updates, args.additionalFields); } return await client.upsertProduct(updates); } - index.js:181-205 (registration)Registration of the 'update_ingredient' MCP tool, including input schema and handler invocation.
