# API Call Skill

Make API calls with authentication, retry logic, and response parsing. This skill demonstrates the execution engine's ability to run Node.js scripts.

## How It Works

1. Receives endpoint, method, and optional data/headers
2. Makes HTTP request to API_BASE_URL + endpoint
3. Handles authentication via API_KEY environment variable
4. Implements retry logic with exponential backoff
5. Returns structured response

## Usage

When the user needs to make an API call, execute this skill with the endpoint and method.

## Security

- API keys are injected via environment variables
- Base URL is configured via API_BASE_URL
- Retry logic prevents excessive requests
