Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:796-801 (handler)

  The handler function for the trash_thread tool. It uses handleTool to authenticate and calls the Gmail API to trash the thread by its ID.

  async (params) => {
    return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => {
      const { data } = await gmail.users.threads.trash({ userId: 'me', id: params.id })
      return formatResponse(data)
    })
  }

• src/index.ts:793-795 (schema)

  Input schema validation for the trash_thread tool using Zod, requiring a thread 'id'.

  {
    id: z.string().describe("The ID of the thread to move to trash")
  },

• src/index.ts:791-802 (registration)

  Registration of the trash_thread tool on the MCP server, including name, description, schema, and handler implementation.

  server.tool("trash_thread",
    "Move a thread to the trash",
    {
      id: z.string().describe("The ID of the thread to move to trash")
    },
    async (params) => {
      return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => {
        const { data } = await gmail.users.threads.trash({ userId: 'me', id: params.id })
        return formatResponse(data)
      })
    }
  )

• src/index.ts:50-66 (helper)

  Shared helper function handleTool used by trash_thread (and other tools) to handle OAuth2 authentication, client creation, and API call execution with error handling.

  const handleTool = async (queryConfig: Record<string, any> | undefined, apiCall: (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => Promise<any>) => {
    try {
      const oauth2Client = queryConfig ? createOAuth2Client(queryConfig) : defaultOAuth2Client
      if (!oauth2Client) throw new Error('OAuth2 client could not be created, please check your credentials')
  
      const credentialsAreValid = await validateCredentials(oauth2Client)
      if (!credentialsAreValid) throw new Error('OAuth2 credentials are invalid, please re-authenticate')
  
      const gmailClient = queryConfig ? google.gmail({ version: 'v1', auth: oauth2Client }) : defaultGmailClient
      if (!gmailClient) throw new Error('Gmail client could not be created, please check your credentials')
  
      const result = await apiCall(gmailClient)
      return result
    } catch (error: any) {
      return `Tool execution failed: ${error.message}`
    }
  }
