- src/name-to-id-tools.ts:110-138 (handler)The execute function that implements the core logic of the region_name_to_id tool. It calls the ESI client to resolve region names to IDs, handles empty results and errors, and returns a formatted JSON response.
execute: async (args: { regionNames: string[] }) => { try { const results = await esiClient.getRegionIds(args.regionNames); if (results.length === 0) { return JSON.stringify({ success: false, message: "No regions found with the provided names", results: [] }); } return JSON.stringify({ success: true, message: `Found ${results.length} region(s)`, results: results.map(region => ({ id: region.id, name: region.name, type: "region" })) }); } catch (error) { return JSON.stringify({ success: false, message: `Error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`, results: [] }); } }, - src/name-to-id-tools.ts:140-142 (schema)Zod schema defining the input parameters for the tool: an array of up to 500 region names.
