Implementation Reference
- src/mcp_server_openai/llm.py:104-110 (handler)Implements the core logic for deleting a file using the OpenAI Files API.
async def delete_file(self, file_id: str): try: response = await self.client.files.delete(file_id) return response except Exception as e: logger.error(f"Failed to delete file {file_id}: {str(e)}") raise - src/mcp_server_openai/server.py:117-127 (registration)Registers the 'delete-file' tool with its name, description, and input schema in the list_tools callback.
types.Tool( name="delete-file", description="Delete a file", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": { "file_id": {"type": "string", "description": "The ID of the file to delete"} }, "required": ["file_id"] } ) - src/mcp_server_openai/server.py:204-207 (handler)Handles the tool call dispatch for 'delete-file' by extracting arguments and calling the LLMConnector's delete_file method.
elif name == "delete-file": file_id = arguments["file_id"] response = await connector.delete_file(file_id) return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"File deleted: {response.id}, status: {'deleted' if response.deleted else 'not deleted'}")]
