Implementation Reference
- src/blender_mcp/server.py:370-420 (handler)The MCP tool handler for 'download_polyhaven_asset'. It validates inputs via type hints and docstring, sends the download command to the Blender addon socket server, handles the response, and provides type-specific success messages. The function signature defines the input schema.
