Implementation Reference
- src/tools/entity.ts:10-21 (registration)Registration of the MCP tool 'create_entities'. Includes inline input schema validation using Zod and a handler function that proxies the call to the WebSocket server via wss.call('entities:create', entities). This constitutes the full tool implementation in the MCP context.
