Security Features

Confirmation System

All destructive operations require explicit confirmation:

# First call - shows warning delete_vm(vm_id="MyServer", confirm=False) # Returns: DESTRUCTIVE OPERATION: Delete VM MyServer... # Second call - executes operation delete_vm(vm_id="MyServer", confirm=True) # Returns: VM MyServer deleted successfully

Environment-Based Authentication

Credentials stored in environment variables
No hardcoded passwords
Secure Docker deployment
SSL/TLS support with configurable verification

Usage Examples

Basic VM Operations

# List all VMs "Show me all virtual machines" # Get VM details "Get details for VM WebServer01" # Power operations "Power on the VM DatabaseServer" "Restart all VMs: WebServer01, WebServer02, WebServer03"

Monitoring and Reporting

# Performance monitoring "Show me CPU and memory usage for all VMs" "Which VMs have high resource usage?" # Storage monitoring "Show me datastore usage" "Which VMs have disk usage over 90%?" # Comprehensive reporting "Generate a complete report of the vSphere environment" "Show me resource utilization summary"

Snapshot Management

# Create snapshots "Create a snapshot of VM WebServer01 before updates" # List snapshots "Show me all snapshots for VM DatabaseServer" # Delete snapshots (requires confirmation) "Delete snapshot 'backup-2024-01-15' from VM WebServer01"

Destructive Operations (with confirmation)

# VM deletion (requires confirmation) "Delete VM TestServer" # Shows warning "Delete VM TestServer with confirmation" # Executes deletion # Resource modification (requires confirmation) "Modify VM WebServer01 to have 8 CPUs and 16GB RAM" "Modify VM WebServer01 to have 8 CPUs and 16GB RAM with confirmation" # Bulk operations (requires confirmation) "Delete VMs: OldServer1, OldServer2, OldServer3" "Delete VMs: OldServer1, OldServer2, OldServer3 with confirmation"
