Implementation Reference
- mcp_server.py:1050-1101 (handler)The handler function for the 'validate_robot_framework_syntax' tool, decorated with @mcp.tool() for registration. It performs static syntax validation on Robot Framework code, checking for section headers, variable syntax, unclosed variables, and spacing issues, then returns a formatted validation report.
