Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:284-295 (schema)Input schema definition for the calculate_labor_cost tool, specifying required startDate and endDate parameters.
{ name: 'calculate_labor_cost', description: 'Calculate labor costs for a specific period based on employee hours and rates.', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { startDate: { type: 'string', description: 'Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format' }, endDate: { type: 'string', description: 'End date in YYYY-MM-DD format' }, }, required: ['startDate', 'endDate'], }, }, - src/index.ts:943-958 (handler)The handler function that implements calculate_labor_cost logic. It computes the number of days between startDate and endDate, then calculates total labor cost by summing estimated weekly costs prorated over the period for each employee using their hourlyRate assuming 40 hours/week.
case 'calculate_labor_cost': { const startDate = String(args?.startDate || ''); const endDate = String(args?.endDate || ''); const days = Math.ceil((new Date(endDate).getTime() - new Date(startDate).getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); const totalCost = storeData.employees.reduce((sum, emp) => sum + (emp.hourlyRate * 40 * days / 7), 0); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `š° Labor Cost Analysis\nš Period: ${startDate} to ${endDate} (${days} days)\n\n${storeData.employees.map(emp => `${emp.name}: $${(emp.hourlyRate * 40 * days / 7).toFixed(2)}` ).join('\n')}\n\nšµ Total Labor Cost: $${totalCost.toFixed(2)}\nš Daily Average: $${(totalCost / days).toFixed(2)}` }] }; } - src/index.ts:58-62 (helper)Mock employee data used in the labor cost calculation, providing names and hourly rates for cost computation.
