Implementation Reference
- src/tools/handlers.ts:150-156 (handler)The tool handler function for 'get_tables'. Receives GetTablesArgs, validates inputs (spec, section, table_index), then delegates to the getTables service function.
async function handleGetTables(args: GetTablesArgs) { const specId = validateSpecId(args.spec); validateSectionId(args.section); const tableIndex = validateTableIndex(args.table_index); await ensureRegistryInitialized(); return getTables(args.section, tableIndex, specId); } - src/tools/definitions.ts:146-168 (registration)MCP tool definition (name, description, inputSchema) for 'get_tables'. Registers it with the SDK tool list.
