Implementation Reference

• src/tools/execute.ts:11-60 (handler)

  The async handler function that implements the core logic of the 'execute' tool: validates tool existence, calls the target tool via GatewayClient, formats results, and handles errors.

  handler: async (args: any, client: GatewayClient) => {
    try {
      // Validate that tool exists
      const tools = await client.listTools();
      const tool = tools.find(t => t.name === args.tool_name);
  
      if (!tool) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: 'text' as const,
            text: `Tool "${args.tool_name}" not found. Use the "search" tool to discover available tools.`,
          }],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
  
      // Execute the tool
      const result = await client.callTool(args.tool_name, args.arguments || {});
  
      // Format the result
      if (result.content) {
        // MCP standard response format
        return result;
      } else if (typeof result === 'object') {
        // Convert object result to text
        return {
          content: [{
            type: 'text' as const,
            text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
          }],
        };
      } else {
        // Simple value result
        return {
          content: [{
            type: 'text' as const,
            text: String(result),
          }],
        };
      }
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [{
          type: 'text' as const,
          text: `Error executing tool "${args.tool_name}": ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`,
        }],
        isError: true,
      };
    }
  },

• src/tools/execute.ts:7-10 (schema)

  The Zod input schema defining parameters for the 'execute' tool: required 'tool_name' and optional 'arguments'.

  inputSchema: z.object({
    tool_name: z.string().describe('Name of the tool to execute (use the search tool to discover available tools)'),
    arguments: z.record(z.any()).optional().describe('Tool-specific parameters as a JSON object. Each tool has different required and optional parameters.'),
  }),

• src/tools/execute.ts:4-61 (registration)

  The complete tool definition object exported as 'executeTool', registering the tool's metadata, schema, and handler for use in an MCP-compatible framework.

  export const executeTool = {
    name: 'execute',
    description: 'Execute any tool from any connected MCP server. First use the "search" tool to discover available tools and their parameters.',
    inputSchema: z.object({
      tool_name: z.string().describe('Name of the tool to execute (use the search tool to discover available tools)'),
      arguments: z.record(z.any()).optional().describe('Tool-specific parameters as a JSON object. Each tool has different required and optional parameters.'),
    }),
    handler: async (args: any, client: GatewayClient) => {
      try {
        // Validate that tool exists
        const tools = await client.listTools();
        const tool = tools.find(t => t.name === args.tool_name);
  
        if (!tool) {
          return {
            content: [{
              type: 'text' as const,
              text: `Tool "${args.tool_name}" not found. Use the "search" tool to discover available tools.`,
            }],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
  
        // Execute the tool
        const result = await client.callTool(args.tool_name, args.arguments || {});
  
        // Format the result
        if (result.content) {
