Implementation Reference
- mcp_server_azure/azure_server.py:212-218 (handler)The core handler logic for the 'blob_list' tool. It gets the container client for the given container_name, lists the blobs, extracts their names, and prepares the response dictionary.
elif name == "blob_list": container_client = blob_service_client.get_container_client( arguments["container_name"] ) blob_list = container_client.list_blobs() blob_names = [blob.name for blob in blob_list] response = {"blob_names": blob_names} - The Tool definition providing the schema (inputSchema) and metadata for the 'blob_list' tool, used for registration and validation.
