async handleCreateSSHKeyPair(args: any) { const result = await this.cloudStackClient.createSSHKeyPair({ name: args.name }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Created SSH key pair: ${args.name}\nFingerprint: ${result.createsshkeypairresponse?.fingerprint}\nPrivate Key:\n${result.createsshkeypairresponse?.privatekey}` } ] }; } - The tool schema definition including input schema for name (required) and optional publickey.
