Implementation Reference
- src/airflow/dag.py:179-187 (handler)The main handler function implementing the 'get_tasks' tool. It calls the Airflow DAG API's get_tasks method with dag_id and optional order_by, returning the response as text content.
async def get_tasks( dag_id: str, order_by: Optional[str] = None ) -> List[Union[types.TextContent, types.ImageContent, types.EmbeddedResource]]: kwargs = {} if order_by is not None: kwargs["order_by"] = order_by response = dag_api.get_tasks(dag_id=dag_id, **kwargs) return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(response.to_dict()))] - src/airflow/dag.py:15-33 (registration)Registration of the 'get_tasks' tool within the get_all_functions list used for MCP tool registration.
