Checks the configured VCF Operations connection (token acquire + MPB design list) and reports host, read-only mode and design count.

Lists Management Pack Builder designs with id, name, version, validation status and install status. Optional name filter.

Returns a design: info, validation status (with per-section errors) and, if requested, the source, source configuration and the request/object/relationship/event lists.

Returns VALID/INVALID/VERIFIED, install status (DRAFT/INSTALLED/OUT_OF_DATE) and every per-section validation error with its refId.

Returns the full form for one request, object, relationship or event (the item plus what it can reference). Use itemId "default" for a blank, defaults-filled form to base a new item on.

Lists object types already declared by installed adapters (e.g. VMWARE VirtualMachine, HostSystem). Use these to extend built-in objects or relate new objects to them.

Returns MPB's view of one existing object type, including its metric set, e.g. adapterKindKey VMWARE + resourceKindKey VirtualMachine.

Lists VCF Operations collectors / cloud proxies with their uuId, which source tests need as collectorId.

Runs a regular expression against a sample string with MPB's own regex engine, the same check the MPB UI uses for metric/property extraction.

Exports a VALID design in MPB exchange format, removes credential values, and writes it to a file (design as code, git-friendly). Relative paths resolve under MPB_DESIGNS_DIR.

Creates an empty HTTP design. The name becomes the adapter kind once installed, so pick a stable one: renaming later creates a second adapter kind.

Updates design info. Bump version before every reinstall: it flows to the adapter and drives the OUT_OF_DATE install status.

Creates or replaces the HTTP source (configuration with baseApiPath and collectorId, authentication with creds and optional sessionSettings, globalHeaders, testRequest). Pass the live GET /source shape, not the export envelope's source.source shape.

Writes the adapter-instance configuration fields and credential definitions (ConfigurationPayload) users fill in when adding an account.

Creates (POST) or updates (PUT, payload carries its id) a request, object, relationship or event. Body shapes: requests = HttpRequest; objects = ObjectDefinition; relationships = {existingObjectTypeReferences:[], relationship:{...}}; events = {existingObjectTypeReferences:[], event:{...}}. Start from mpb_get_item itemId:"default" (new) or an existing item, then edit. Note: per-object PUT is known to answer 500 on some builds; if so, re-import the design instead.

Deletes one or more requests, objects, relationships or events from a design. Requires confirm: true.

Deletes MPB designs (not installed management packs). Requires confirm: true.

Imports a design envelope (MPB export format) from a file or inline JSON, first fixing known import quirks (unwrapped list items, flat-format fields). The server assigns a new design id. Credentials must be re-entered (mpb_test_source credentials) before a source test passes.

Runs the MPB source test on a collector (GET_SESSION when session auth is configured, then TEST_CONNECTION) and, by default, saves the test response into the source, which MPB requires before the design can become VALID.

Runs one design request against the target through MPB (REQUEST job) and returns the response and attributes MPB found. Pass the request object from mpb_get_item.

Runs a full collection preview of the design (objects, metrics, properties, relationships) and returns the job id needed by mpb_verify_design.

Marks the design verified using a collection preview job (default: the latest one). Required before install.

Builds the pack from the design and installs it on this VCF Operations instance, waiting for the deployment. Refuses a design that is not VALID/VERIFIED, because MPB then silently does nothing. Requires confirm: true.

Polls one install deployment started by mpb_install.

Runs the full MPB pipeline for a design and stops at the first failing step: source test (+ persist), collection preview, verify, install. Requires confirm: true to install; without it, it stops after verify.

Calls any /internal/mpbuilder/* or /api/* path (relative to /suite-api) for cases the other tools do not cover. Non-GET methods are not available in read-only mode.
