It extracts the service UUID from the request parameters, makes a GET request to the Coolify API endpoint `/services/{uuid}/start` to start the service, and returns the API response as formatted JSON text content.case 'start_service': const startServiceResponse = await this.axiosInstance.get(`/services/${request.params.arguments?.uuid}/start`); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(startServiceResponse.data, null, 2) }] };
