Implementation Reference
- src/tools/network.ts:35-56 (handler)The core handler function that switches the Hedera network by executing the 'network use' command via hederaCLI service.
export async function switchNetwork(args: { network: 'mainnet' | 'testnet' | 'previewnet' | 'local'; }): Promise<ToolResult> { try { logger.info('Switching network', { network: args.network }); const result = await hederaCLI.executeCommand({ command: 'network use', args: { network: args.network, }, }); return result; } catch (error) { logger.error('Failed to switch network', { error }); return { success: false, error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error', }; } } - src/index.ts:583-585 (registration)The switch case in the main tool execution handler that routes calls to the switchNetwork function.
case 'network_switch': result = await switchNetwork(args as { network: 'mainnet' | 'testnet' | 'previewnet' | 'local' }); break; - src/index.ts:198-217 (schema)The tool schema definition used in optimizedToolDefinitions array, which is served via ListToolsRequest.
