All Catalyst Center tool calls use this invocation pattern:
1. fetch_devices -- List and Filter Network Devices
Fetches devices from the /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device endpoint with extensive filtering. NEVER call this tool without at least one filter parameter -- unfiltered queries can return massive result sets and are blocked by design.
