• src/utils/execute-api-tool.ts:34-252 (handler)

  The core handler function for all dynamically registered API tools, including 'evm_getlatestblocknumber'. It takes the tool definition (from OpenAPI parsing), user arguments, constructs the appropriate HTTP request to the Moralis EVM API endpoint, handles authentication with API key, executes via axios, and returns formatted JSON/text response.

  export async function executeApiTool(
