execute_workflow_rule

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/tools/workflow-automation.ts:190-244 (handler)

  The main handler function for execute_workflow_rule. Uses requireAuth wrapper, parses input with ExecuteWorkflowRuleSchema, fetches the rule via supabaseService, iterates over its actions calling executeAction(), logs execution, and returns results.

  export const executeWorkflowRule = requireAuth(async (args: any) => {
    const { rule_id, test_data, dry_run } = ExecuteWorkflowRuleSchema.parse(args)
    
    logger.info('Executing workflow rule', { rule_id, dry_run })
  
    const rule = await supabaseService.getWorkflowRule(rule_id)
    if (!rule) {
      throw new Error('Workflow rule not found')
    }
  
    if (!rule.enabled && !dry_run) {
      throw new Error('Cannot execute disabled rule (use dry_run for testing)')
    }
  
    const executionResults = []
    
    for (const action of rule.actions) {
      try {
        const result = await executeAction(action, test_data, dry_run)
        executionResults.push({
          action_type: action.action_type,
          success: true,
          result,
          dry_run
        })
      } catch (error) {
        logger.error(`Failed to execute action ${action.action_type}:`, error)
        executionResults.push({
          action_type: action.action_type,
          success: false,
          error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
          dry_run
        })
      }
    }
  
    // Log execution if not dry run
    if (!dry_run) {
      await supabaseService.logWorkflowExecution({
        rule_id,
        trigger_data: test_data,
        execution_results: executionResults,
        executed_at: new Date().toISOString()
      })
    }
  
    return {
      rule_name: rule.name,
      executed_actions: executionResults.length,
      successful_actions: executionResults.filter(r => r.success).length,
      failed_actions: executionResults.filter(r => !r.success).length,
      results: executionResults,
      dry_run
    }
  })

• src/tools/workflow-automation.ts:184-188 (schema)

  Zod schema for input validation of execute_workflow_rule: rule_id (string, required), test_data (optional record), dry_run (boolean, default false).

  const ExecuteWorkflowRuleSchema = z.object({
    rule_id: z.string().min(1),
    test_data: z.record(z.any()).optional(),
    dry_run: z.boolean().default(false)
  })

• src/tools/workflow-automation.ts:160-182 (registration)

  Tool metadata registration: name 'execute_workflow_rule', description, and inputSchema defining the expected JSON properties.

  export const executeWorkflowRuleTool: MCPTool = {
    name: 'execute_workflow_rule',
    description: 'Manually execute a workflow rule for testing',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        rule_id: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'ID of the rule to execute'
        },
        test_data: {
          type: 'object',
          description: 'Test data to simulate the trigger event'
        },
        dry_run: {
          type: 'boolean',
          default: false,
          description: 'If true, only simulate execution without performing actions'
        }
      },
      required: ['rule_id']
    }
  }

• src/tools/workflow-automation.ts:412-467 (helper)

  Helper function executeAction that dispatches to the appropriate action type (create_task, update_task, send_notification, assign_task, move_task, create_document) via supabaseService calls.

  async function executeAction(action: any, testData: any, dryRun: boolean): Promise<any> {
    if (dryRun) {
      return { simulated: true, action_type: action.action_type, parameters: action.parameters }
    }
  
    switch (action.action_type) {
      case 'create_task':
        return await supabaseService.createTask({
          title: action.parameters.title,
          description: action.parameters.description,
          project_id: action.parameters.project_id || testData?.project_id,
          initiative_id: null,
          priority: action.parameters.priority || 'medium',
          assignee_id: action.parameters.assignee_id,
          status: 'todo',
          due_date: null
        })
  
      case 'update_task':
        return await supabaseService.updateTask(
          action.parameters.task_id || testData?.task_id,
          action.parameters.updates
        )
  
      case 'send_notification':
        // Would integrate with notification service
        return { 
          notification_sent: true, 
          recipient: action.parameters.recipient,
          message: action.parameters.message 
        }
  
      case 'assign_task':
        return await supabaseService.updateTask(
          action.parameters.task_id || testData?.task_id,
          { assignee_id: action.parameters.assignee_id }
        )
  
      case 'move_task':
        return await supabaseService.updateTask(
          action.parameters.task_id || testData?.task_id,
          { status: action.parameters.new_status }
        )
  
      case 'create_document':
        return await supabaseService.createDocument({
          title: action.parameters.title,
          content: action.parameters.content,
          project_id: action.parameters.project_id || testData?.project_id,
          document_type: action.parameters.document_type || 'note'
        })
  
      default:
        throw new Error(`Unknown action type: ${action.action_type}`)
    }
  }
