bulc_setup_evac_stair

Configure furniture as evacuation stairs between floors to define entry/exit points, capacity, and travel speed for building safety simulations.

Instructions

Configure a furniture item as an evacuation stair connection between floors. Defines entry/exit positions, capacity, and travel speed.

Implementation Reference

src/tools/evac.ts:918-924 (handler)
Specific handler case for 'bulc_setup_evac_stair' tool within the main handleEvacTool function. Validates input parameters using SetupEvacStairSchema and forwards the command to the BULC client backend.
```
case "bulc_setup_evac_stair": {
  const validated = SetupEvacStairSchema.parse(args);
  result = await client.sendCommand({
    action: "setup_evac_stair",
    params: validated,
  });
  break;
```

src/tools/evac.ts:108-163 (schema)

src/tools/evac.ts:748-759 (schema)

Zod runtime validation schema matching the MCP inputSchema, used in the handler for safe parameter parsing.

const SetupEvacStairSchema = z.object({
  furnitureId: z.string(),
  fromFloor: z.number().int().min(0),
  toFloor: z.number().int().min(0),
  entryX: z.number().optional(),
  entryY: z.number().optional(),
  exitX: z.number().optional(),
  exitY: z.number().optional(),
  width: z.number().positive().optional(),
  capacity: z.number().int().positive().optional(),
  travelSpeed: z.number().positive().optional(),
});

src/index.ts:40-51 (registration)

Registration of all tool schemas including evacTools (containing bulc_setup_evac_stair) into the combined allTools array, provided to MCP ListToolsRequest.

const allTools = [
  ...contextTools,      // 8 tools: spatial context, home info, levels, undo/redo, save
  ...roomTools,         // 5 tools: create, create_polygon, list, modify, delete
  ...wallTools,         // 5 tools: create, create_rectangle, list, modify, delete
  ...furnitureTools,    // 5 tools: catalog, place, list, modify, delete
  ...fdsDataTools,      // 7 tools: get, fire_source, detector, sprinkler, hvac, thermocouple, clear
  ...meshTools,         // 5 tools: list, create, auto, modify, delete
  ...simulationTools,   // 4 tools: get_settings, time, output, ambient
  ...fdsRunTools,       // 6 tools: preview, validate, export, run, status, stop
  ...resultTools,       // 5 tools: open_viewer, list_datasets, point_data, aset, report
  ...evacTools,         // 25 tools: setup, stairs, agents, run, results, advanced features
];

src/index.ts:135-137 (registration)
Routing logic in main MCP CallToolRequest handler that directs 'bulc_setup_evac_stair' (matches 'evac') calls to the evac-specific handleEvacTool dispatcher.
```
if (name.startsWith("bulc_") && name.includes("evac")) {
  return await handleEvacTool(name, safeArgs);
}
```
