Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:665-668 (handler)The handler that implements the core logic for the 'buddypress_update_xprofile_data' tool. It destructures the input arguments (field_id, user_id, value) and calls the buddypressRequest helper to perform a PUT request to the BuddyPress XProfile API endpoint `/xprofile/{field_id}/data/{user_id}` with the value.
else if (name === 'buddypress_update_xprofile_data') { const { field_id, user_id, value } = args as any; result = await buddypressRequest(`/xprofile/${field_id}/data/${user_id}`, 'PUT', { value }); } - src/index.ts:353-361 (schema)JSON Schema defining the input parameters and validation for the tool: field_id (required number), user_id (required number), value (required string).
