    case "get_public_holidays": {
      const year = args.year as number;
      const canton = args.canton as string | undefined;
    
      const params: Record<string, string> = {
        countryIsoCode: "CH",
        languageIsoCode: "EN",
        validFrom: `${year}-01-01`,
        validTo: `${year}-12-31`,
      };
      if (canton) {
        params.subdivisionCode = toSubdivisionCode(canton);
      }
    
      const url = buildUrl(`${BASE}/PublicHolidays`, params);
      const data = await fetchJSON<Holiday[]>(url);
    
      const holidays = data.map(compactHoliday);
      return JSON.stringify({
        year,
        canton: canton ?? "all",
        count: holidays.length,
        holidays,
        source: "openholidaysapi.org",
      });
