## Example Usage

Once connected, your AI agent can use the MCP tools to answer Twilio development questions:

**Search for relevant APIs:**
> "How do I send an SMS with Twilio?"

The agent calls `twilio__search` with your query and receives relevant documentation snippets and API operation IDs.

**Get full API details:**
> "Show me the parameters for creating a message"

The agent calls `twilio__retrieve` with the operation ID (e.g., `CreateMessage`) and receives the complete parameter schema.
