Development

Adding new API tools

  1. Generate the API client: add the OpenAPI spec URL to generate-clients.sh (in the parent workspace) and run it

  2. Create a wrapper in src/akamai/apis/<api-name>/

  3. Add tool registration files under src/tools/<api-name>/

  4. Register the tools in src/tools/index.ts
