Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:915-927 (registration)Registration of the 'update_pop' tool, including schema definition and inline handler function that updates Gmail POP settings via the API.
server.tool("update_pop", "Updates POP settings", { accessWindow: z.enum(['disabled', 'allMail', 'fromNowOn']).describe("The range of messages which are accessible via POP"), disposition: z.enum(['archive', 'trash', 'leaveInInbox']).describe("The action that will be executed on a message after it has been fetched via POP") }, async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.updatePop({ userId: 'me', requestBody: params }) return formatResponse(data) }) } ) - src/index.ts:921-926 (handler)The handler function for the 'update_pop' tool. It invokes the shared 'handleTool' utility to authenticate and call the Gmail API's users.settings.updatePop method with the provided parameters, then formats the response.
async (params) => { return handleTool(config, async (gmail: gmail_v1.Gmail) => { const { data } = await gmail.users.settings.updatePop({ userId: 'me', requestBody: params }) return formatResponse(data) }) } - src/index.ts:917-920 (schema)Input schema for the 'update_pop' tool using Zod validation: accessWindow (enum: disabled, allMail, fromNowOn) and disposition (enum: archive, trash, leaveInInbox).
{ accessWindow: z.enum(['disabled', 'allMail', 'fromNowOn']).describe("The range of messages which are accessible via POP"), disposition: z.enum(['archive', 'trash', 'leaveInInbox']).describe("The action that will be executed on a message after it has been fetched via POP") }, - src/index.ts:50-66 (helper)Shared helper function 'handleTool' used by 'update_pop' (and other tools) to handle OAuth2 authentication, Gmail client creation, API call execution, and 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}` } }
