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

  Generic handler that executes any extracted API tool, including 'evm_getswapsbytokenaddress', by constructing and sending HTTP request to the Moralis API based on the tool definition.

• src/server.ts:26-44 (registration)

  Registers tools by parsing the OpenAPI spec from Moralis EVM API, extracting operations, prefixing with 'evm_', and creating toolDefinitionMap used for all tool calls.

  async function mapToolDefinitions(config: SchemaConfig) {
    const spec = (await getSpec(config.specUrl)) as OpenAPIV3DocumentX;

• src/parser/extract-tools.ts:17-93 (schema)

  Extracts tool definitions from OpenAPI document, generates names by prefix + sanitized operationId (e.g. 'evm_' + 'getswapsbytokenaddress'), creates inputSchema from parameters/body.
