Implementation Reference
- src/zabbix_mcp_server.py:663-690 (handler)The complete implementation of the 'template_update' MCP tool. This handler function is registered via the @mcp.tool() decorator. It performs read-only validation, retrieves the Zabbix API client, constructs update parameters conditionally, calls the Zabbix template.update API method, and returns a formatted JSON response. The function signature and docstring define the input schema.
