Description

On the MCP server, `discover_zapier_actions` searches apps and actions for the task at hand; add the one you need as a tool with `enable_zapier_action`. On the CLI, `zapier-sdk list-actions <app>` lists an app's actions with each one's key and type (narrow it with `--action-type write` or `--action-type search`), and `zapier-sdk list-action-input-fields <app> <action-type> <action>` shows the inputs an action needs. Discover app and action keys at runtime rather than hardcoding them.
