Implementation Reference
- The main handler function that executes the list_alerts tool logic. It calls the CloudStack client to fetch alerts, processes them, and formats the response as MCP content.
async handleListAlerts(args: any) { const result = await this.cloudStackClient.listAlerts(args); const alerts = result.listalertsresponse?.alert || []; const alertList = alerts.map((alert: any) => ({ id: alert.id, type: alert.type, description: alert.description, sent: alert.sent, name: alert.name })); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Found ${alertList.length} alerts:\n\n${alertList .map((alert: any) => `• ${alert.name} (${alert.id})\n Type: ${alert.type}\n Description: ${alert.description}\n Sent: ${alert.sent}\n` ) .join('\n')}` } ] }; } - The input schema and metadata definition for the list_alerts tool.
