Implementation Reference
- src/tools/role-tools.ts:466-497 (handler)The core handler function that executes the tool logic: fetches privileges for a given role ID using Dataverse Web API $expand on roleprivileges_association, maps to privilegeId and name, and returns formatted response.
async (params) => { try { // Get role privileges using the correct Web API approach from Microsoft documentation // Using $expand to get the roleprivileges_association collection const response = await client.get(`roles(${params.roleId})?$select=roleid&$expand=roleprivileges_association($select=name,privilegeid)&$orderby=name`); const rolePrivileges = response.roleprivileges_association || []; const privileges = rolePrivileges.map((privilege: any) => ({ privilegeId: privilege.privilegeid, privilegeName: privilege.name })); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Role privileges (${privileges.length} found):\n\n${JSON.stringify(privileges, null, 2)}` } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error retrieving role privileges: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}` } ], isError: true }; } } - src/tools/role-tools.ts:462-464 (schema)Zod input schema validating the required 'roleId' parameter as a string.
