async (params) => { try { const { service } = params; const serviceName = service.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + service.slice(1); const methods = serviceMethodsMap[serviceName]; if (!methods) { throw new Error(`Invalid service: ${service}. Available services: ${JSON.stringify(Object.keys(serviceMethodsMap), null, 2)}`); } // Create a map of method names to their descriptions const methodInfo = Object.entries(methods).reduce((acc, [methodName, info]) => { acc[methodName] = { description: info.description }; return acc; }, {} as Record<string, { description: string }>); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(methodInfo, null, 2) }] }; } catch (err: any) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ error: err.message, details: err.errors || err.stack }, null, 2) }], isError: true }; } } - server.ts:294-296 (schema)Input schema for the 'get_service_info' tool, defining the 'service' parameter using Zod.
