Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1152-1154 (handler)The handler function that executes the logic for the 'search_by_target' tool. Currently implemented as a placeholder.
private async handleSearchByTarget(args: any) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Target search not yet implemented', args }, null, 2) }] }; } - src/index.ts:612-623 (schema)Tool definition including name, description, and input schema for 'search_by_target'.
{ name: 'search_by_target', description: 'Find compounds tested against a specific biological target', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { target: { type: 'string', description: 'Target name (gene, protein, or pathway)' }, activity_type: { type: 'string', description: 'Type of activity (e.g., IC50, EC50, Ki)' }, max_records: { type: 'number', description: 'Maximum number of results (1-1000, default: 100)', minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 }, }, required: ['target'], }, - src/index.ts:786-787 (registration)Registration/dispatch of the 'search_by_target' handler in the main tool switch statement.
