case "delete_file": { const filePath = args.path as string; await fs.unlink(filePath); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Successfully deleted file ${filePath}`, }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:112-125 (schema)The schema definition for the 'delete_file' tool, including name, description, and inputSchema specifying a required 'path' string parameter for MCP tool validation.
