Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:262-283 (handler)

  Handler for the 'multi_move_clone_configuration' tool. Extracts arguments (config_paths, new_location, action), determines the API endpoint ('MultiMove' or 'MultiClone'), performs a POST request to the Palo Alto firewall's Configuration endpoint, and returns the response data as text content.

  case 'multi_move_clone_configuration': {
      const { config_paths, new_location, action } = request.params.arguments as { 
          config_paths: string[], 
          new_location: string, 
          action: 'move' | 'clone' 
      };
  
      const endpoint = action === 'move' ? 'MultiMove' : 'MultiClone';
      const response = await this.axiosInstance.post(
          `/Configuration/${endpoint}`,
          { config_paths, new_location }
      );
  
      return {
          content: [
              {
                  type: 'text',
                  text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2),
              },
          ],
      };
  }

• src/index.ts:176-197 (schema)

  Input schema defining the parameters for the 'multi_move_clone_configuration' tool: config_paths (array of strings), new_location (string), and action (string enum: 'move' or 'clone').

  inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
          config_paths: {
              type: 'array',
              items: {
                  type: 'string'
              },
              description: 'Paths to the configurations to move or clone'
          },
          new_location: {
              type: 'string',
              description: 'New location for the configurations'
          },
          action: {
              type: 'string',
              enum: ['move', 'clone'],
              description: 'Action to perform'
          }
      },
      required: ['config_paths', 'new_location', 'action']
  }

• src/index.ts:173-198 (registration)

  Registration of the 'multi_move_clone_configuration' tool in the MCP server's list of tools, specifying its name, description, and input schema.

  {
      name: 'multi_move_clone_configuration',
      description: 'Multi-Move or Multi-Clone the configuration of the Palo Alto firewall',
      inputSchema: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
              config_paths: {
                  type: 'array',
                  items: {
                      type: 'string'
                  },
                  description: 'Paths to the configurations to move or clone'
              },
              new_location: {
                  type: 'string',
                  description: 'New location for the configurations'
              },
              action: {
                  type: 'string',
                  enum: ['move', 'clone'],
                  description: 'Action to perform'
              }
          },
          required: ['config_paths', 'new_location', 'action']
      }
  }
