Implementation Reference
- src/tools/courses.ts:1-133 (registration)The 'registerCourseTools' function registers the 'get_course' tool (among others) using server.registerTool(). This is the registration point.

It takes an 'id' parameter, calls apiGet('/courses/{id}'), logs the response, and returns formatShow(record, 'course').
server.registerTool( "get_course", { description: "Get a course record", annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true }, inputSchema: { id: z.number().int().positive().describe("ID of the course to retrieve") }, }, async ({ id }) => { try { const record = await apiGet<EduframeRecord>(`/courses/${id}`); void logResponse("get_course", { id }, record); return formatShow(record, "course"); } catch (error) { return formatError(error); } }, ); - src/tools/courses.ts:38-42 (schema)The input schema for the 'get_course' tool: requires a single 'id' parameter of type z.number().int().positive().
{ description: "Get a course record", annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true }, inputSchema: { id: z.number().int().positive().describe("ID of the course to retrieve") }, }, - src/api.ts:145-155 (helper)The 'apiGet' helper function used by the handler to perform the GET request to the Eduframe API endpoint.
export async function apiGet<T>(path: string, query?: Record<string, QueryValue>): Promise<T> { const { token } = getConfig(); const url = buildUrl(path, query); const response = await fetch(url.toString(), { method: "GET", headers: buildHeaders(token), }); return handleResponse<T>(response); } - src/formatters.ts:68-77 (helper)The 'formatShow' helper function that formats the retrieved record for display.
export function formatShow(record: EduframeRecord, resourceName: string): CallToolResult { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `${resourceName}:\n\n${formatJSON(record)}${RESPONSE_LOG_HINT}`, }, ], }; }
