Implementation Reference
- src/tools/content-tools.ts:693-703 (handler)Handler logic in handleContentTool that destructures args, parses and validates input using UpdatePageSchema, converts tags, calls client.updatePage, and returns formatted response.
case "update_page": { const { id, ...updateData } = args; const pageId = parseInteger(id); const validatedData = UpdatePageSchema.parse(updateData); const data = { ...validatedData, tags: convertTags(validatedData.tags), }; const result = await client.updatePage(pageId, data); return formatApiResponse(result); } - src/lib/validation.ts:60-68 (schema)Zod validation schema for update_page tool parameters, used in the handler for input validation.
export const UpdatePageSchema = z.object({ book_id: z.number().optional(), chapter_id: z.number().optional(), name: z.string().min(1).max(255).optional(), html: z.string().optional(), markdown: z.string().optional(), tags: z.array(TagSchema).optional(), priority: z.number().optional(), }); - src/tools/content-tools.ts:359-393 (registration)Tool definition registered in createContentTools function, including name, description, and input schema matching UpdatePageSchema.

if (contentToolNames.includes(name)) { result = await handleContentTool(name, args, bookStackClient); } else if (searchUserToolNames.includes(name)) { - src/lib/bookstack-client.ts:215-220 (helper)BookStackClient.updatePage method called by the handler, performs the actual PUT API request to update the page.
async updatePage( id: number, data: Partial<CreatePageRequest> ): Promise<Page> { return this.put<Page>(`/pages/${id}`, data); }
