Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:238-256 (handler)The main handler function that executes the 'docker images' command, parses the output into a list of image objects (name, id, size), and returns it as JSON-formatted text content.
private async listImages() { const { stdout } = await execAsync('docker images --format "{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}\\t{{.ID}}\\t{{.Size}}"'); const images = stdout.trim().split('\n') .filter(line => line.trim() !== '') .map(line => { const [name, id, size] = line.split('\t'); return { name, id, size }; }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(images, null, 2), }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:82-89 (registration)Registration of the 'list_images' tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler, specifying name, description, and empty input schema (no parameters required).
{ name: 'list_images', description: 'List all Docker images', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, }, - src/index.ts:85-88 (schema)Input schema definition for the list_images tool: an empty object, indicating no input parameters are required.
inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, - src/index.ts:191-192 (helper)Switch case in the CallToolRequestSchema handler that dispatches to the listImages method when 'list_images' tool is called.
case 'list_images': return await this.listImages();
