WHAT IT DOES

What call_secure_api does on IronMCP Framework Starter

AI agents invoke call_secure_api to trigger actions in IronMCP Framework Starter. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
