case 'board_read': { const parsed = BoardReadSchema.parse(args); const result = await session.requireClient().boardRead( parsed.sort, parsed.topic, parsed.limit, parsed.offset ); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:280-285 (schema)Zod schema validation for board_read input parameters.
const BoardReadSchema = z.object({ sort: z.enum(['trending', 'newest', 'top']).default('trending').describe('Sort order for posts'), topic: z.string().optional().describe('Filter by topic (e.g. "bitcoin", "ai", "mcp")'), limit: z.number().int().min(1).max(50).default(20).describe('Max posts to return'), offset: z.number().int().min(0).default(0).describe('Skip this many posts (pagination)'), }); - src/lightning-faucet.ts:1373-1382 (handler)The actual API client method that sends the 'board_read' request to the backend.
