Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1125-1127 (handler)The handler function that executes the 'search_bioassays' tool logic. Currently implemented as a placeholder indicating it's not yet fully implemented.
private async handleSearchBioassays(args: any) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Bioassay search not yet implemented', args }, null, 2) }] }; } - src/index.ts:578-587 (schema)The input schema definition for the 'search_bioassays' tool, defining parameters like query, target, source, and max_records.
inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { query: { type: 'string', description: 'General search query' }, target: { type: 'string', description: 'Target protein or gene name' }, source: { type: 'string', description: 'Data source (e.g., ChEMBL, NCGC)' }, max_records: { type: 'number', description: 'Maximum number of results (1-1000, default: 100)', minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 }, }, required: [], }, - src/index.ts:575-588 (registration)The tool registration in the ListTools response, including name, description, and schema.
