Implementation Reference
- src/tools/handler.ts:299-324 (handler)The executeTool method's switch case that implements the 'configure_tracking' tool logic: updates trackingConfig based on input args, persists to .tracking-config.json, and returns confirmation message.
case 'configure_tracking': // Update global tracking configuration this.trackingConfig = { enabled: args?.enabled ?? this.trackingConfig.enabled, storageUrl: args?.storageUrl || this.trackingConfig.storageUrl, trackAllNodes: args?.trackAllNodes ?? this.trackingConfig.trackAllNodes, enableCheckpoints: args?.enableCheckpoints ?? this.trackingConfig.enableCheckpoints, enableErrorTracking: args?.enableErrorTracking ?? this.trackingConfig.enableErrorTracking }; // Save configuration to file for persistence const configPath = path.join(this.workflowsPath, '.tracking-config.json'); await fs.writeFile(configPath, JSON.stringify(this.trackingConfig, null, 2)); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `✅ Tracking configuration updated:\\n\\n` + `Enabled: ${this.trackingConfig.enabled}\\n` + `Storage URL: ${this.trackingConfig.storageUrl || 'Not set'}\\n` + `Track all nodes: ${this.trackingConfig.trackAllNodes || false}\\n` + `Enable checkpoints: ${this.trackingConfig.enableCheckpoints || false}\\n` + `Enable error tracking: ${this.trackingConfig.enableErrorTracking || false}\\n\\n` + `Configuration saved to ${configPath}` }] }; - src/tools/registry.ts:462-489 (schema)The tool definition object including name, description, and inputSchema for 'configure_tracking'.
