Implementation Reference
- src/zabbix_mcp_server.py:509-540 (handler)The main handler function for the 'trigger_create' MCP tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool() which handles both implementation and registration in FastMCP. The function creates a new trigger in Zabbix by calling the ZabbixAPI client's trigger.create method after validating permissions and formatting parameters.
