  async function createFolder(args) {
    try {
      const { name, projectKey, parentFolderId, folderType } = args;
  
      if (!name) {
        throw new Error('folder name is required');
      }
  
      if (!projectKey) {
        throw new Error('projectKey is required');
      }
  
      if (!config.projectKeyPattern.test(projectKey)) {
        throw new Error('Invalid projectKey format. Must match pattern: [A-Z][A-Z_0-9]+');
      }
  
      // Validate folderType against allowed enum values
      const validFolderTypes = ['TEST_CASE', 'TEST_PLAN', 'TEST_CYCLE'];
      const selectedFolderType = folderType || 'TEST_CASE';
  
      if (!validFolderTypes.includes(selectedFolderType)) {
        throw new Error(`folderType must be one of: ${validFolderTypes.join(', ')}`);
      }
  
      const folderData = {
        name,
        projectKey,
        folderType: selectedFolderType
      };
  
      if (parentFolderId) {
        if (!config.folderIdPattern.test(parentFolderId)) {
          throw new Error('Invalid parentFolderId format. Must be a numeric ID.');
        }
        folderData.parentId = parseInt(parentFolderId);
      }
