Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1109-1122 (handler)The core handler function that destructures the args to separate id and updateData, makes a PUT request to Apollo API endpoint `/contacts/${id}` with the update data, and returns a success message with the updated contact's ID and name.
private async updateContact(args: any) { const { id, ...updateData } = args; const response = await this.axiosInstance.put(`/contacts/${id}`, updateData); const contact = response.data.contact; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Contact updated successfully!\nID: ${contact.id}\nName: ${contact.first_name} ${contact.last_name}`, }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:482-515 (schema)The input schema definition for the update_contact tool, specifying the required 'id' parameter and optional fields for updating contact details like name, email, title, and LinkedIn URL.
