Implementation Reference
- src/research-tree.ts:471-489 (handler)Core implementation of the search_tiles tool logic: filters tiles matching the query in title, description, or splitAttribute, optionally within a specific tree.
search(query: string, treeId?: string): Tile[] { let tilesToSearch = Array.from(this.tiles.values()); if (treeId) { const tree = this.trees.get(treeId); if (!tree) { throw new Error(`Tree ${treeId} not found`); } tilesToSearch = this.getTilesInTree(tree.rootTileId); } const lowerQuery = query.toLowerCase(); return tilesToSearch.filter( (tile) => tile.title.toLowerCase().includes(lowerQuery) || tile.description.toLowerCase().includes(lowerQuery) || tile.splitAttribute?.toLowerCase().includes(lowerQuery) ); } - src/index.ts:588-601 (handler)MCP server handler for search_tiles tool: calls ResearchTreeManager.search and returns JSON result.
case "search_tiles": { const result = treeManager.search( args.query as string, args.treeId as string | undefined ); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:303-320 (schema)Input schema definition for search_tiles tool, registered in TOOLS array for ListTools requests.
