Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:465-477 (handler)The handler executes the validate_color tool by sending the color string to the LIFX /color API endpoint for validation and parsing, then returns the parsed result.
case "validate_color": { const { token, color } = args as { token: string; color: string }; const result = await makeLIFXRequest(`/color?color=${encodeURIComponent(color)}`, { token }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Color validation result:\n${JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}`, }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:248-259 (registration)Registration of the validate_color tool, including its name, description, and input schema definition.
