- The main handler function that executes the scale_virtual_machine tool. It calls the CloudStackClient to scale the VM and returns a formatted text response with the job ID.
async handleScaleVirtualMachine(args: any) { const result = await this.cloudStackClient.scaleVirtualMachine(args); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Scaled virtual machine ${args.id}. Job ID: ${result.scalevirtualmachineresponse?.jobid}` } ] }; } - Tool schema definition including name, description, and input validation schema for the scale_virtual_machine tool.
