Implementation Reference
- src/server.ts:796-823 (handler)The handler function that implements the 'get_audit_cases' tool. It validates input parameters using Zod, applies rate limiting, queries the OpenFEC API endpoint '/audit-cases', and returns the response as formatted JSON text.
private async handleGetAuditCases(args: any) { const schema = z.object({ committee_id: z.string().optional(), audit_id: z.string().optional(), audit_year: z.number().optional(), finding_types: z.array(z.string()).optional() }); const params = schema.parse(args); this.rateLimiter.consumeToken(); const response = await this.axiosInstance.get('/audit-cases', { params: { ...params, sort_hide_null: true, per_page: 20 } }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2), }, ], }; } - src/server.ts:392-413 (schema)The input schema definition for the 'get_audit_cases' tool, defining optional parameters for filtering audit cases by committee, audit ID, year, and finding types.
