Implementation Reference
- src/log-manager.js:70-102 (handler)Executes the get_logs tool logic: filters the in-memory log buffer by lines, level, since timestamp, and source, returning the most recent matching entries.
getLogs(options = {}) { const { lines = 100, level = null, since = null, source = null } = options; let filteredLogs = [...this.logBuffer]; if (level) { const levelPriority = { 'DEBUG': 0, 'INFO': 1, 'WARN': 2, 'ERROR': 3 }; const minPriority = levelPriority[level.toUpperCase()] || 0; filteredLogs = filteredLogs.filter(log => (levelPriority[log.level] || 0) >= minPriority ); } if (since) { const sinceDate = new Date(since); filteredLogs = filteredLogs.filter(log => new Date(log.timestamp) >= sinceDate ); } if (source) { filteredLogs = filteredLogs.filter(log => log.source === source ); } return filteredLogs.slice(-lines); } - src/tools/index.js:63-86 (schema)Defines the input schema for the get_logs tool, specifying parameters for log retrieval.
inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { lines: { type: "number", description: "Number of recent log lines to retrieve (default: 100)", default: 100 }, level: { type: "string", description: "Minimum log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR)", enum: ["DEBUG", "INFO", "WARN", "ERROR"] }, since: { type: "string", description: "ISO 8601 timestamp to filter logs from" }, source: { type: "string", description: "Filter by log source (stdout, stderr)", enum: ["stdout", "stderr"] } } } - src/tools/index.js:126-132 (registration)Registers the get_logs tool handler by mapping the tool name to logManager.getLogs call in the tool dispatcher.
case "get_logs": return logManager.getLogs({ lines: args.lines, level: args.level, since: args.since, source: args.source }); - src/tools/index.js:60-87 (registration)Tool registration in the TOOLS array export, including name, description, and input schema for MCP protocol.
