Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function that validates the input arguments and invokes the GoogleTasks instance to delete the specified task.
    export async function handleTasksDeleteTask(
      args: any,
      googleTasksInstance: GoogleTasks
    ) {
      if (!isDeleteTaskArgs(args)) {
        throw new Error("Invalid arguments for google_tasks_delete_task");
      }
      const { taskId, taskListId } = args;
      const result = await googleTasksInstance.deleteTask(taskId, taskListId);
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: result }],
        isError: false,
      };
    }
  • The tool's schema definition, including input schema for parameters taskId (required) and optional taskListId.
    export const DELETE_TASK_TOOL: Tool = {
      name: "google_tasks_delete_task",
      description: "Delete a task",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          taskId: {
            type: "string",
            description: "ID of the task to delete",
          },
          taskListId: {
            type: "string",
            description:
              "ID of the task list the task belongs to (uses default if not specified)",
          },
        },
        required: ["taskId"],
      },
    };
  • Registration in the server request handler's switch statement that dispatches calls to this tool to the appropriate handler function.
    case "google_tasks_delete_task":
      return await tasksHandlers.handleTasksDeleteTask(
        args,
        googleTasksInstance
      );
  • Core helper method in the GoogleTasks class that calls the Google Tasks API to delete the task.
    async deleteTask(taskId: string, taskListId?: string) {
      try {
        const targetTaskList = taskListId || this.defaultTaskList;
    
        await this.tasks.tasks.delete({
          tasklist: targetTaskList,
          task: taskId,
        });
    
        return `Task ${taskId} deleted from task list ${targetTaskList}.`;
      } catch (error) {
        throw new Error(
          `Failed to delete task: ${
            error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
          }`
        );
      }
    }
  • Type guard (schema validator) used in the handler to validate input arguments match the expected types.
    export function isDeleteTaskArgs(args: any): args is {
      taskId: string;
      taskListId?: string;
    } {
      return (
        args &&
        typeof args.taskId === "string" &&
        (args.taskListId === undefined || typeof args.taskListId === "string")
      );
    }
