Implementation Reference

  • The main handler logic for the 'get_workflow_status' tool. It validates the workflow ID, fetches the workflow execution details from the Conductor API endpoint `/workflow/{workflowId}`, optionally includes task details, generates a human-readable summary using the summarizeWorkflow helper, and returns a formatted response with summary and full JSON details.
    case "get_workflow_status": {
      const { workflowId, includeTaskDetails = true } = args as any;
    
      // Validate workflow ID
      const validation = validateWorkflowId(workflowId);
      if (!validation.valid) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `❌ Validation Error: ${validation.error}`,
            },
          ],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
    
      const url = `/workflow/${workflowId}`;
      const params = includeTaskDetails ? { includeTasks: true } : {};
    
      const response = await conductorClient.get(url, { params });
    
      // Add summary for better readability
      const summary = summarizeWorkflow(response.data);
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `${summary}\n\nπŸ“„ Full Details:\n${JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2)}`,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • The tool definition including name, description, and input schema (JSON Schema for validation). This is returned by list_tools and used for input validation.
    {
      name: "get_workflow_status",
      description:
        "Get the current status and details of a specific workflow execution by its ID. Returns complete workflow execution details including tasks, input/output, and current status.",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          workflowId: {
            type: "string",
            description: "The unique workflow execution ID",
          },
          includeTaskDetails: {
            type: "boolean",
            description: "Include detailed task information (default: true)",
          },
        },
        required: ["workflowId"],
      },
    },
  • Helper function specifically used by the get_workflow_status handler to validate the format of the workflowId parameter (checks for non-empty and UUID format).
    function validateWorkflowId(workflowId: string): { valid: boolean; error?: string } {
      if (!workflowId || workflowId.trim() === "") {
        return { valid: false, error: "Workflow ID cannot be empty" };
      }
      // Basic UUID validation (Conductor typically uses UUIDs)
      const uuidRegex = /^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/i;
      if (!uuidRegex.test(workflowId)) {
        return { valid: false, error: `Invalid workflow ID format. Expected UUID format, got: ${workflowId}` };
      }
      return { valid: true };
    }
  • Helper function used by the get_workflow_status handler to generate a concise, human-readable summary of the workflow status, including ID, status, start time, duration, and failed tasks if applicable.
    function summarizeWorkflow(workflow: any): string {
      const duration = workflow.endTime
        ? workflow.endTime - workflow.startTime
        : Date.now() - workflow.startTime;
      const durationSec = Math.floor(duration / 1000);
    
      return `πŸ“‹ Workflow: ${workflow.workflowName || workflow.workflowType} (v${workflow.version || workflow.workflowVersion})
    πŸ†” ID: ${workflow.workflowId}
    πŸ“Š Status: ${workflow.status}
    ⏱️  Started: ${formatTimestamp(workflow.startTime)}
    ⏳ Duration: ${durationSec}s
    ${workflow.status === "FAILED" ? `❌ Failed Tasks: ${workflow.failedTaskNames?.join(", ") || "N/A"}` : ""}`;
    }
