Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function implementing the 'update-pull-request-branch' tool. It validates input using Zod schema, calls the GitHub API's pulls.updateBranch method, and returns the result.
    export async function updatePullRequestBranch(args: unknown): Promise<any> {
      const { owner, repo, pull_number, expected_head_sha } = UpdatePullRequestBranchSchema.parse(args);
      const github = getGitHubApi();
    
      return tryCatchAsync(async () => {
        const { data } = await github.getOctokit().pulls.updateBranch({
          owner,
          repo,
          pull_number,
          expected_head_sha,
        });
    
        return {
          message: data.message,
          url: data.url,
        };
      }, 'Failed to update pull request branch');
    }
  • Zod schema for validating the input parameters of the update-pull-request-branch tool.
    export const UpdatePullRequestBranchSchema = OwnerRepoSchema.extend({
      pull_number: z.number().int().positive(),
      expected_head_sha: z.string().optional(),
    });
  • src/server.ts:950-976 (registration)
    Tool registration in the ListTools response, defining the tool name, description, and input schema.
    {
      name: 'update-pull-request-branch',
      description: 'Update a pull request branch with the latest changes from the base branch',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          owner: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Repository owner (username or organization)',
          },
          repo: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Repository name',
          },
          pull_number: {
            type: 'number',
            description: 'Pull request number',
          },
          expected_head_sha: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'The expected SHA of the pull request\'s HEAD ref',
          },
        },
        required: ['owner', 'repo', 'pull_number'],
        additionalProperties: false,
      },
    },
  • Dispatch case in the CallToolRequest handler that invokes the updatePullRequestBranch function.
    case 'update-pull-request-branch':
      result = await updatePullRequestBranch(parsedArgs);
      break;
