- src/index.ts:470-487 (handler)The core handler function for the 'get_bot_status' tool. Validates the bot_id parameter, makes an API request to retrieve the bot status, formats the response using formatBotStatus, and returns it as MCP content.
private async getBotStatus(args: Record<string, unknown>) { const bot_id = args.bot_id as string; if (!bot_id || typeof bot_id !== 'string') { throw new Error("Missing or invalid required parameter: bot_id"); } const data = await this.makeApiRequest(`/api/v1/bots/${bot_id}`); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: this.formatBotStatus(data), }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:225-237 (registration)Registers the 'get_bot_status' tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler, providing name, description, and input schema.
