Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:1707-1726 (handler)

  The handler for the "empty-trash" tool, which uses AppleScript to command Things 3 to empty its trash.

  server.tool("empty-trash", {}, async () => {
    const appleScriptStatus = await getAppleScriptOperationalStatus();
    if (!appleScriptStatus.operational) {
      return buildTextResponse("Unable to empty Things trash", {
        success: false,
        available: appleScriptStatus.available,
        operational: appleScriptStatus.operational,
        error:
          appleScriptStatus.operationalError ?? appleScriptStatus.availabilityError,
      });
    }
  
    const result = await tryAppleScript(
      `tell application "${THINGS_APP_SCRIPT_TARGET}" to empty trash`
    );
    return buildTextResponse(
      result.ok ? "Emptied Things trash" : "Unable to empty Things trash",
      result.ok ? { success: true } : { success: false, error: result.error }
    );
  });
