Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/network-handlers.ts:95-106 (handler)The main handler function that implements the enable_static_nat tool logic. It calls the CloudStack client to enable static NAT and returns a formatted text response indicating success.
async handleEnableStaticNat(args: any) { const result = await this.cloudStackClient.enableStaticNat(args); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Enabled static NAT for IP ${args.ipaddressid} to VM ${args.virtualmachineid}. Success: ${result.enablestaticnatresponse?.success}` } ] }; } - The tool schema definition including name, description, and input schema validation for enable_static_nat.
