case "move_file": { const source = args.source as string; const destination = args.destination as string; // Ensure destination directory exists const destDir = path.dirname(destination); await fs.mkdir(destDir, { recursive: true }); await fs.rename(source, destination); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Successfully moved ${source} to ${destination}`, }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:140-157 (schema)The tool definition including name, description, and input schema for 'move_file'. This is part of the TOOLS array used for tool listing.
