Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:612-647 (handler)The handler function for the 'pause_execution' tool. Checks if a debug session is active, then invokes Debugger.pause() via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) client to pause execution, returning appropriate success or error messages.
private async pauseExecution() { if (!this.debugSession.connected || !this.debugSession.client) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "No active debug session. Please attach debugger first.", }, ], isError: true, }; } try { const { Debugger } = this.debugSession.client; await Debugger.pause(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "Execution paused successfully", }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error pausing execution: ${error}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } - src/index.ts:218-225 (registration)Registration of the 'pause_execution' tool in the tools list returned by ListToolsRequestSchema handler. Includes name, description, and empty input schema (no parameters required).
{ name: "pause_execution", description: "Pause execution of the debugged process", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, }, }, - src/index.ts:221-224 (schema)Input schema definition for the 'pause_execution' tool, specifying an empty object (no input parameters required).
inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, }, - src/index.ts:262-263 (registration)Dispatch/registration case in the CallToolRequestSchema switch statement that routes calls to the pauseExecution handler.
