…cution - Add optional folderId parameter to runCollection tool schema - Add folderId to CollectionRunParams interface in models.ts - Implement resolveFolderName() in executor.ts to convert folder IDs to names - Newman's folder option expects folder names, not IDs - Supports matching by id, _postman_id, or uid fields - Falls back to original value for direct folder name usage - Update buildNewmanOptions() to resolve folder ID before passing to Newman - Add debug logging to show resolved folder name during execution Bug fixes: - Upgrade Newman to 6.2.1 for Node.js 22 compatibility (undici fix) - Remove delayRequest to improve execution speed within MCP timeouts This allows running specific folders within a collection instead of the entire collection, useful for targeted test execution.
