src/tools/objects.ts:112-124 (handler)

The 'dual_count_objects' tool registration and handler. Makes a POST request to 'objects/count' API endpoint with filter criteria, returns the count of matching objects.

server.registerTool("dual_count_objects", {
  title: "Count Objects",
  description: "Count objects matching filter criteria without returning the full objects.",
  inputSchema: {
    filter: z.record(z.unknown()).describe("Filter criteria (same as search)"),
  },
  annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true, openWorldHint: true },
}, async (params) => {
  try {
    const res = await makeApiRequest<{ count: number }>("objects/count", "POST", params);
    return textResult(`Count: ${res.count}`);
  } catch (e) { return errorResult(handleApiError(e)); }
});

src/tools/objects.ts:115-117 (schema)
Input schema for dual_count_objects tool - accepts a 'filter' parameter as a record of key-value pairs for filtering criteria.
```
inputSchema: {
  filter: z.record(z.unknown()).describe("Filter criteria (same as search)"),
},
```

src/services/api-client.ts:40-62 (helper)

makeApiRequest helper function that performs the actual HTTP request to the DUAL API. Handles authentication headers, timeout, and returns typed response data.

export async function makeApiRequest<T>(
  endpoint: string,
  method: "GET" | "POST" | "PUT" | "PATCH" | "DELETE" = "GET",
  data?: unknown,
  params?: Record<string, unknown>,
  options?: { timeout?: number; multipart?: boolean }
): Promise<T> {
  const config: AxiosRequestConfig = {
    method,
    url: `${API_BASE_URL}/${endpoint}`,
    headers: getAuthHeaders(),
    timeout: options?.timeout ?? 30000,
  };

  if (data !== undefined) config.data = data;
  if (params) config.params = params;
  if (options?.multipart) {
    config.headers = { ...config.headers, "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data" };
  }

  const response = await axios(config);
  return response.data as T;
}

src/services/formatters.ts:39-46 (helper)

textResult and errorResult helper functions that format the MCP tool response content in the standard format.

export function textResult(text: string) {
  return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text }] };
}

/** Standard error content response */
export function errorResult(text: string) {
  return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text }], isError: true as const };
}
