Implementation Reference
- src/airflow/dag.py:144-166 (handler)The async handler function implementing the 'patch_dags' tool. It constructs an update request for DAG properties (is_paused, tags), creates a DAG object, and calls the Airflow API to patch matching DAGs based on dag_id_pattern.
async def patch_dags( dag_id_pattern: Optional[str] = None, is_paused: Optional[bool] = None, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, ) -> List[Union[types.TextContent, types.ImageContent, types.EmbeddedResource]]: update_request = {} update_mask = [] if is_paused is not None: update_request["is_paused"] = is_paused update_mask.append("is_paused") if tags is not None: update_request["tags"] = tags update_mask.append("tags") dag = DAG(**update_request) kwargs = {} if dag_id_pattern is not None: kwargs["dag_id_pattern"] = dag_id_pattern response = dag_api.patch_dags(dag_id_pattern=dag_id_pattern, dag=dag, update_mask=update_mask, **kwargs) return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(response.to_dict()))] - src/airflow/dag.py:15-33 (registration)Registration of the 'patch_dags' tool within the get_all_functions() list, which provides (function, name, description, read_only) for MCP tool registration.
