Implementation Reference
- src/tools/networking/index.ts:85-94 (handler)Handler that creates a Direct Link gateway via POST to IBM Cloud Direct Link API. Validates input with Zod schema, checks write permission via w(), and sends name, type, speed_mbps, bgp_asn, optional location_name and cross_connect_router.
