Notes and caveats
- Requires a CDP API key (key ID and secret); a separate wallet secret is needed for operations that touch private keys (creating accounts, signing, sending).
- Credentials are stored in the OS keyring or supplied via CDP_* environment variables.
- Node.js 22+.
- Tools are generated dynamically, so new endpoints appear when the CLI updates.
- License from npm metadata (no public repo linked).
