Implementation Reference

  • The handler implementation for the `is_holiday_today` tool. It queries the OpenHolidays API for the current date, optionally filtering by canton, and returns whether it's a holiday.
    case "is_holiday_today": {
      const canton = args.canton as string | undefined;
      const today = new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10); // YYYY-MM-DD
    
      const params: Record<string, string> = {
        countryIsoCode: "CH",
        languageIsoCode: "EN",
        validFrom: today,
        validTo: today,
      };
      if (canton) {
        params.subdivisionCode = toSubdivisionCode(canton);
      }
    
      const url = buildUrl(`${BASE}/PublicHolidays`, params);
      const data = await fetchJSON<Holiday[]>(url);
    
      if (data.length === 0) {
        return JSON.stringify({
          date: today,
          is_holiday: false,
          canton: canton ?? "all",
        });
      }
    
      // Return the first (or nationwide) match
      const nationwide = data.find((h) => h.nationwide);
      const match = nationwide ?? data[0];
      return JSON.stringify({
        date: today,
        is_holiday: true,
        holiday: extractName(match.name),
        type: match.type,
        nationwide: match.nationwide,
        canton: canton ?? "all",
      });
