Implementation Reference
- src/utils/execute-api-tool.ts:34-252 (handler)The core handler function that executes the 'evm_getentitiesbycategory' tool (and all others) by validating inputs, constructing the API request to the Moralis EVM endpoint, applying authentication, and returning the formatted response.
