}
This endpoint accepts a raw curl command string, parses it, and automatically creates a new tool in the specified server with the extracted configuration. The tool is created with status draft so you can review and activate it from the dashboard.
The tool is created automatically — no second request needed. The response is the full created tool object, not just a parsed preview.
If auth credentials are detected in the cURL command (e.g. Authorization: Bearer sk_test_xxx), they are saved as Test Credentials only and a _notice field is added to the response. You must configure Production Authentication separately in the server’s Authentication tab.

​
Path Parameters

​
server_id
string
required
The UUID of the server the tool will belong to (e.g. 836995ae-1cff-41ec-823e-a4f07ccca3a0). Numeric IDs are also accepted for backwards compatibility.

​
Body Parameters

​
curl_command
string
required
The complete curl command string to parse.
