Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
fusion_list_runningA

List all currently running VMware Fusion virtual machines.

Returns the count and paths of all running VMs, along with their display names.

Returns:

  • total: number of running VMs

  • vms: array of { name, vmxPath }

Note: Only VMs started by the current user are shown (use sudo for root-started VMs).

fusion_list_allA

Discover all VMware Fusion virtual machines on the system by scanning common VM directories.

Scans ~/Virtual Machines.localized and related paths for .vmx files. Also accepts an optional extra directory to search.

Args:

  • extra_dir (string, optional): Additional directory path to scan for VMs.

Returns:

  • total: number of VMs found

  • vms: array of { name, vmxPath, guestOS, memoryMB, numCPUs }

fusion_get_vm_infoA

Get detailed information about a specific VMware Fusion virtual machine.

Reads the .vmx configuration file and checks running status.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

Returns: Object with name, vmxPath, guestOS, memoryMB, numCPUs, annotation, hardwareVersion, running status.

fusion_start_vmA

Start (power on) a VMware Fusion virtual machine.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

  • nogui (boolean, optional): If true, starts the VM without a GUI window (headless). Default: false.

Returns: Confirmation message on success.

fusion_stop_vmA

Stop (power off) a VMware Fusion virtual machine.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

  • mode (string, optional): "soft" sends a shutdown signal to the guest OS (graceful). "hard" forces immediate power off. Default: "soft".

Returns: Confirmation message on success.

fusion_suspend_vmA

Suspend a running VMware Fusion virtual machine. Saves the VM's state to disk.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

Returns: Confirmation message on success.

fusion_reset_vmB

Reset (reboot) a VMware Fusion virtual machine.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

  • mode (string, optional): "soft" for graceful reboot, "hard" for forced reset. Default: "soft".

Returns: Confirmation message on success.

fusion_get_ipA

Get the IP address of a running VMware Fusion guest OS.

The VM must be running and have VMware Tools installed for this to work.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

  • wait (boolean, optional): If true, waits for the guest to obtain an IP. Default: true.

Returns: The IP address as a string, or an error if unavailable.

fusion_list_snapshotsA

List all snapshots of a VMware Fusion virtual machine.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

Returns:

  • total: number of snapshots

  • snapshots: array of snapshot names

fusion_create_snapshotB

Create a new snapshot of a VMware Fusion virtual machine.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

  • snapshot_name (string): Name for the new snapshot.

Returns: Confirmation message on success.

fusion_revert_snapshotA

Revert a VMware Fusion virtual machine to a previous snapshot.

WARNING: This discards any changes made since the snapshot was taken.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

  • snapshot_name (string): Name of the snapshot to revert to.

Returns: Confirmation message on success.

fusion_delete_snapshotA

Delete a snapshot from a VMware Fusion virtual machine.

WARNING: This permanently removes the snapshot and its state. This cannot be undone.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

  • snapshot_name (string): Name of the snapshot to delete.

Returns: Confirmation message on success.

fusion_check_toolsB

Check the status of VMware Tools in a virtual machine's guest OS.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

Returns: The VMware Tools status (e.g., "installed", "running", "not installed").

fusion_run_in_guestA

Run a program inside a VMware Fusion guest OS.

Requires VMware Tools to be installed and running in the guest.

Args:

  • vmx_path (string): Absolute path to the VM's .vmx file.

  • guest_user (string): Username for guest authentication.

  • guest_password (string): Password for guest authentication.

  • program (string): Full path to the program inside the guest OS.

  • program_args (string, optional): Arguments to pass to the program.

  • no_wait (boolean, optional): If true, returns immediately without waiting for the program to finish. Default: false.

Returns: Output from the program or confirmation that it was launched.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Scored across 14 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but `fusion_list_running` and `fusion_list_all` both 'list' VMs which could cause initial confusion; descriptions clarify the scope difference. Snapshot, lifecycle, and guest operations are unambiguous.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow the `fusion_<verb>_<object>` pattern (e.g., `create_snapshot`, `start_vm`, `get_ip`). Even `list_running` and `list_all` fit the pattern with a gerund/adjective as the object, maintaining consistency across the set.

Tool Count5/5

14 tools is well-scoped for a VMware Fusion control server, covering VM lifecycle, snapshots, guest operations, and discovery. Each tool serves a distinct purpose with no obvious redundancy or bloat.

Completeness4/5

The tool set adequately covers common VM management tasks: start/stop/suspend/reset, snapshot CRUD, guest program execution, and info retrieval. Missing operations like VM creation/deletion are reasonable omissions for a control-focused server, but could be considered minor gaps for a full lifecycle.
