Optional: no key? The create_lightning_enable_account tool self-provisions one for ~100 sats over Lightning — no card, no subscription required.), LIGHTNING_ENABLE_TOOL_PROFILE (How many tools to advertise: lite (the five spend/read basics), standard (default), or full (adds the deprecated legacy names), or full (adds the pre-consolidation tool names).), AGENT_RELAY_URL (Nostr relay URL for agent events (default: wss://agents.lightningenable.com)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
