Implementation Reference
- src/station-services-tools.ts:94-289 (handler)The primary handler implementation for the 'get_station_agents' tool. This exported constant defines the complete tool object for MCP, including annotations, description, the async execute function that handles station ID resolution, agent fetching from SDEClient and ESIClient, name resolution, and structured JSON response with agent details.
