Calls LimeSurvey RemoteControl method delete_survey. Authentication uses the configured service account; do not provide a session key.

Import an LSA, CSV, TXT, or LSS survey. Use import_data_path for files at or above roughly 50 KB so the server reads and base64-encodes them itself; reserve inline import_data for small files under 200,000 characters of base64 text. The returned sid is the survey ID LimeSurvey actually used: it keeps the ID embedded in the file when that ID is free, destination_survey_id overrides it when set, and on an ID collision LimeSurvey silently assigns a random 6-digit sid instead of failing (verified against the LimeSurvey XMLImportSurvey/insertNewSurvey source).

Report server-side configuration without any RemoteControl call by default: server_version, instance_host, transport, read_only, experimental_methods_enabled, configured export/import/theme directories (each with a local exists/writable check), and a capabilities summary. Set probe_instance=true to additionally call list_surveys (connectivity/auth proof, count only) and get_site_settings("versionnumber") — the latter requires a superadmin service account and degrades to permission_level="standard" with instance_version=null otherwise. Call this before relying on file export/import or theming tools.

Attempt to export a survey's structure as .lss and write it inside LIMESURVEY_EXPORT_DIR, returning a path instead of base64. Core LimeSurvey RemoteControl2 has no export_survey method (verified 2026-07-24 against api.limesurvey.org and the LimeSurvey source); this tool only works if a custom plugin exposes an equivalent RPC method, so it requires LIMESURVEY_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_METHODS=true and otherwise always fails with a clear EXPORT_UNSUPPORTED error. Prefer property-based verification (list_groups, list_questions, get_survey_properties, get_group_properties, get_question_properties) over round-trip diffing.

Assign an already imported LimeSurvey survey theme through set_survey_properties. This does not upload or install the theme package.

LimeSurvey RemoteControl2 has no official method to enumerate installed survey themes (verified 2026-07-24 against api.limesurvey.org and the LimeSurvey source). This tool combines two best-effort signals instead: generated_packages lists ZIPs/folders already generated locally in LIMESURVEY_THEME_DIR, and themes_in_use lists the distinct template names actually assigned to surveys visible to this account (via list_surveys + get_survey_properties), which works without a superadmin account. Always includes the documented admin-UI fallback for the complete installed-theme list.
