yaml_to_xml

Convert a YAML string to XML, wrapped in a configurable root element.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
input	string	Yes	YAML string to convert.
root_element	string	No	Name of the XML root element to wrap the output in (default: root).

Response

Field	Type	Description
output	string	The converted XML string.

Example

{
	"input": "name: Alice\nage: 30\n",
	"root_element": "person"
}

Result:

{
	"output": "<person>\n  <name>Alice</name>\n  <age>30</age>\n</person>"
}

Errors

Each failure carries a precise code in the response. Argument-schema and server errors are JSON-RPC protocol errors; a rejected value is returned as a tool result with isError: true (so the agent can read the code and self-correct).

Code	When	Delivered as
invalid_arguments	input is missing or not a string, or root_element is not a string.	protocol error (invalid_params)
invalid_yaml	The input string is not valid YAML.	tool error (isError)
internal_error	An unexpected server error.	protocol error (internal_error)

Mapping Convention

YAML	XML
Mapping key foo	<foo> child element
Mapping key @id	Attribute id="..." on the parent element
Mapping key $text	Text content of the parent element
Sequence [a, b]	Repeated sibling elements
null / ~	Self-closing element <foo/>
String, integer, float, boolean	Element text content

Notes

• Round-trips between yaml_to_xml and xml_to_yaml are not guaranteed to be lossless. In particular, numbers are serialized as text and parsed back as strings.
• XML special characters in values are automatically escaped.
