npm start

1. Use cortex_list_analyzer_definitions with freeOnly=true to find analyzers
   that need no API keys.
2. Use cortex_enable_analyzer to enable "Abuse_Finder_3_0" with empty config.
3. Use cortex_analyze_observable with data "8.8.8.8" to analyze the IP.

Use cortex_analyze_observable with data "185.220.101.42"
(no dataType needed - auto-detects as IP)

Use cortex_cleanup_jobs with status "Failure", dryRun true to preview,
then dryRun false to delete.

Use cortex_run_analyzer_file with analyzerId "Yara_3_0",
filePath "/tmp/suspicious.exe" to scan with YARA rules.

Use cortex_renew_user_key with userId "analyst1" to rotate their API key.

Use the triage-alert prompt with alertDescription "Suspicious outbound traffic
detected" and observables "185.220.101.42, evil.example.com, 44d88612fea8a8f36de82e1278abb02f"
