Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:1454-1479 (handler)

  The main handler logic for executing the 'todoist_get_sections' tool. It validates arguments using isSectionArgs, calls todoistClient.getSections with optional projectId, cursor, limit parameters, formats the results into a readable list, and handles pagination cursor.

  if (name === "todoist_get_sections") {
    if (!isSectionArgs(args)) {
      throw new Error("Invalid arguments for todoist_get_sections");
    }
    
    const params: any = {};
    if (args.projectId) params.projectId = args.projectId;
    if (args.cursor) params.cursor = args.cursor;
    if (args.limit) params.limit = args.limit;
  
    const sectionsResponse = await todoistClient.getSections(params);
    
    const sectionList = sectionsResponse.results?.map((section: any) => 
      `- ${section.name} (ID: ${section.id}, Project ID: ${section.projectId})`
    ).join('\n') || 'No sections found';
    
    const nextCursorMessage = sectionsResponse.nextCursor ? `\n\nNext cursor for more sections: ${sectionsResponse.nextCursor}` : '';
    
    return {
      content: [{ 
        type: "text", 
        text: `Sections:\n${sectionList}${nextCursorMessage}` 
      }],
      isError: false,
    };
  }

• src/index.ts:478-498 (schema)

  The Tool object definition including name, description, and inputSchema for 'todoist_get_sections'.

  const GET_SECTIONS_TOOL: Tool = {
    name: "todoist_get_sections",
    description: "Get all sections, or sections for a specific project. Supports pagination.",
    inputSchema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        projectId: {
          type: "string",
          description: "Filter sections by project ID (optional)."
        },
        cursor: {
          type: "string",
          description: "Pagination cursor for next page (optional)."
        },
        limit: {
          type: "number",
          description: "Maximum number of sections to return (default: 50) (optional)."
        }
      }
    }
  };

• src/index.ts:1083-1121 (registration)

  Registration of the todoist_get_sections tool (as GET_SECTIONS_TOOL) in the list of tools returned by ListToolsRequestSchema handler.

  server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({
    tools: [
      // Task tools
      CREATE_TASK_TOOL,
      QUICK_ADD_TASK_TOOL,
      GET_TASKS_TOOL,
      GET_TASK_TOOL,
      UPDATE_TASK_TOOL,
      DELETE_TASK_TOOL,
      COMPLETE_TASK_TOOL,
      REOPEN_TASK_TOOL,
      SEARCH_TASKS_TOOL,
      MOVE_TASK_TOOL,
      BULK_MOVE_TASKS_TOOL,
      // Project tools
      GET_PROJECTS_TOOL,
      GET_PROJECT_TOOL,
      CREATE_PROJECT_TOOL,
      UPDATE_PROJECT_TOOL,
      DELETE_PROJECT_TOOL,
      // Section tools
      GET_SECTIONS_TOOL,
      CREATE_SECTION_TOOL,
      UPDATE_SECTION_TOOL,
      DELETE_SECTION_TOOL,
      // Label tools
      CREATE_LABEL_TOOL,
      GET_LABEL_TOOL,
      GET_LABELS_TOOL,
      UPDATE_LABEL_TOOL,
      DELETE_LABEL_TOOL,
      // Comment tools
      CREATE_COMMENT_TOOL,
      GET_COMMENT_TOOL,
      GET_COMMENTS_TOOL,
      UPDATE_COMMENT_TOOL,
      DELETE_COMMENT_TOOL,
    ],
  }));

• src/index.ts:864-871 (helper)

  Type guard helper function isSectionArgs used in the handler to validate input arguments for todoist_get_sections.

  function isSectionArgs(args: unknown): args is {
    projectId?: string;
    cursor?: string;
    limit?: number;
  } {
    // Allows empty object or object with optional projectId, cursor, limit
    return typeof args === "object" && args !== null;
  }
