Implementation Reference
- src/tools/WriterToolHandlers.ts:237-249 (handler)The primary handler function that implements the 'trace_reference_chain' tool logic. It extracts arguments (start_file, end_file, concept) and returns a structured response with a mock chain analysis.
private async traceReferenceChain(args: Record<string, unknown>) { const startFile = args.start_file as string; const endFile = args.end_file as string; const concept = args.concept as string | undefined; return { startFile, endFile, concept, chain: [], message: "Reference chain analysis", }; } - The JSON schema defining the input parameters and structure for the 'trace_reference_chain' tool.
