Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| code | Yes | The code identifying the medication (e.g., RxNorm, SNOMED CT). | |

| form | No | The form of the medication (e.g., tablet, capsule, liquid). |
Implementation Reference
- src/tools/medicationUtils.ts:34-82 (handler)The primary handler function that executes the 'createMedication' tool logic. It takes CreateMedicationArgs, validates the code, builds a FHIR Medication resource, creates it using the Medplum client, and returns the created resource or an OperationOutcome on error.
export async function createMedication( args: CreateMedicationArgs, client?: MedplumClient, // Restore optional client ): Promise<Medication | OperationOutcome> { const medplumClient = client || medplum; await ensureAuthenticated(); try { if (!args.code || !args.code.coding || args.code.coding.length === 0) { throw new Error('Medication code with at least one coding is required.'); } const medicationResource: Medication = { resourceType: 'Medication', code: args.code, status: args.status, manufacturer: args.manufacturer, form: args.form, identifier: args.identifier, }; Object.keys(medicationResource).forEach( (key) => (medicationResource as any)[key] === undefined && delete (medicationResource as any)[key], ); const createdMedication = (await medplumClient.createResource( medicationResource, )) as Medication; console.log('Medication created successfully:', createdMedication); return createdMedication; } catch (error: any) { console.error('Error creating Medication:', error); const outcome: OperationOutcome = { resourceType: 'OperationOutcome', issue: [ { severity: 'error', code: 'exception', diagnostics: `Error creating Medication: ${error.message || 'Unknown error'}`, }, ], }; if (error.outcome) { console.error('Server OperationOutcome:', JSON.stringify(error.outcome, null, 2)); return error.outcome as OperationOutcome; } return outcome; } } - src/tools/medicationUtils.ts:15-21 (schema)TypeScript interface defining the input arguments for the createMedication handler, including required code and optional fields like status, manufacturer, form, and identifiers.
export interface CreateMedicationArgs { code: CodeableConcept; status?: MedicationStatus; manufacturer?: Reference<Organization>; // Corrected to Reference<Organization> form?: CodeableConcept; identifier?: Identifier[]; } - src/tools/toolSchemas.ts:458-516 (schema)Detailed JSON schema definition for the 'createMedication' tool input, providing structured properties for code, status, manufacturer, form, and identifiers to guide LLM usage.
