List all my Balena fleets and their associated IDs.

I've retrieved your fleets. You have 3 active fleets: 'Smart-Home-Gateway' (ID: 18234), 'Industrial-Sensor-Node' (ID: 19455), and 'Edge-AI-Camera' (ID: 20112).

Add a tag 'location' with value 'warehouse-north' to device 1234567.

Successfully created the tag 'location: warehouse-north' for device 1234567. The device metadata has been updated.

What are the available balenaOS versions for a raspberrypi4-64?

I found several versions for raspberrypi4-64. The latest stable releases include v2.115.18, v2.113.18, and v2.108.27. Would you like the download URL for any of these?

You can use the `list_devices` tool with an OData filter. For example, provide `$filter` as `uuid eq '<YOUR_UUID>'` to retrieve the exact device metadata.
