Implementation Reference
- Handler for 'add_effect' tool: validates inputs, appends effect syntax (e.g., .effect(params)) to current pattern, writes it back to Strudel editor, returns confirmation.
case 'add_effect': InputValidator.validateStringLength(args.effect, 'effect', 100, false); if (args.params) { InputValidator.validateStringLength(args.params, 'params', 1000, true); } const currentEffect = await this.getCurrentPatternSafe(); const withEffect = args.params ? currentEffect + `.${args.effect}(${args.params})` : currentEffect + `.${args.effect}()`; await this.writePatternSafe(withEffect); return `Added ${args.effect} effect`; - Schema definition for 'add_effect' tool in the tools list returned by getTools(), used for MCP tool listing and input validation.
name: 'add_effect', description: 'Add effect to pattern', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { effect: { type: 'string', description: 'Effect name' }, params: { type: 'string', description: 'Effect parameters' } }, required: ['effect'] } }, - src/server/EnhancedMCPServerFixed.ts:571-573 (registration)Registration of tool list handler; 'add_effect' is included in getTools() array.
this.server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: this.getTools() })); - Helper method that identifies 'add_effect' as requiring browser initialization before execution.
