async (args) => { const result = await makeRequest(`/ref/hotspot/info/${args.loc_id}`); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] }; } - src/index.ts:443-445 (schema)The input schema for the get_hotspot_info tool, defining the required 'loc_id' parameter as a string using Zod.
{ loc_id: z.string().describe("The location code (e.g., 'L99381')"), }, - src/index.ts:440-450 (registration)The registration of the get_hotspot_info tool using server.tool(), including the name, description, schema, and inline handler function.
