   • Host: The hostname or IP address of your Ember+ server
   • Port: The port number (default: 9000)
   • OID: The OID path you want to read (e.g., 997.1.2) or use msg.iod
   • Output format: Choose how the result is output:
     • array (default): [OID, Value, Description]
     • object: { oid, value, description }
     • value: Value only
