Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/file-operations.ts:240-290 (handler)The exportAnalysis method implements the core logic of the 'export_analysis' tool. It processes different analysis types (pivot_table, statistical_analysis), prepares tabular data, writes it to an output file using the internal writeFile method, and returns a success response with export details.
async exportAnalysis(args: ToolArgs): Promise<ToolResponse> { const { analysisType, sourceFile, outputFile, analysisParams } = args; let exportData: any[][] = []; switch (analysisType) { case 'pivot_table': { // This would need to call the analytics handler - simplified for now exportData = [ ['Group', 'Value', 'Count'], // Results would go here ]; break; } case 'statistical_analysis': { exportData = [ ['Metric', 'Value'], ['Column', 'Sample Column'], // Statistical results would go here ]; break; } // Add other analysis types as needed default: throw new Error(`Unsupported analysis type: ${analysisType}`); } // Write the analysis results to file await this.writeFile({ filePath: outputFile, data: exportData.slice(1), // Remove headers headers: exportData[0] // Use first row as headers }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success: true, analysisType, sourceFile, outputFile, rowsExported: exportData.length, }, null, 2), }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:696-721 (schema)The tool schema definition for 'export_analysis' including name, description, and detailed inputSchema specifying parameters like analysisType, sourceFile, outputFile, and analysisParams.
