vcfa-operations

vcfa-operations is a skill for Claude Code from mgovedarov/mcp-vcf-orchestrator. It costs 109 tokens per session (823 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Guidance for operating VMware VCF Automation, including Service Broker and Cloud Assembly, through an MCP server. It covers workflows, deployments, catalog items, templates, and deployment actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect and troubleshoot failed workflows or deployments, review available actions, run approved workflows, manage deployments, and work with catalog templates and subscriptions.
Why use it?
It enforces read-only inspection before operations and confirmation before live changes. This helps identify the actual state and limits accidental production-impacting actions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vcfa-operations scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

VCFA Operations

Operate and troubleshoot VCF Automation through the MCP server. Start with read-only discovery and only mutate after explicit confirmation. This skill orchestrates the server's prompts, resources, and tools rather than replacing them.

Core principles

  • Inspect before you act. Use the list-* and get-* tools and the execution log tools to understand state before remediating.
  • The mutating tools — run-workflow, run-workflow-and-wait, create-deployment, run-deployment-action, delete-deployment, create-template, delete-template, create-subscription, update-subscription, delete-subscription — require a confirm: true argument plus real user confirmation of the exact target and expected impact.
  • Running a workflow or a deployment day-2 action changes the live environment. Treat it like a production operation: confirm target, inputs, and blast radius.

Prefer the server prompts

  • vcfa-troubleshoot-deployment — inspect a deployment and its day-2 options before remediation.
  • vcfa-troubleshoot-workflow-execution — diagnose a failed execution using logs, stack, and workflow source.
  • vcfa-discover-capabilities — explore plugins, categories, workflows, actions, catalog items, deployments, templates, and subscriptions.
  • vcfa-collect-context-snapshot — persist reusable environment context.
  • vcfa-create-template and vcfa-review-template — discover conventions before drafting a blueprint, and review one for catalog readiness.
  • vcfa-integrate-workflow-template-subscription — plan workflow, template, catalog, deployment, and subscription integration.

Tool map by task

  • Execution: run-workflow, run-workflow-and-wait, get-workflow-execution, get-workflow-execution-logs, list-workflow-executions.
  • Deployments: list-deployments, get-deployment, list-deployment-actions, run-deployment-action, create-deployment, delete-deployment.
  • Projects: list-projects, get-project (resolve projectId before project-scoped calls).
  • Catalog: list-catalog-items, get-catalog-item.
  • Templates: list-templates, get-template, create-template, delete-template.
  • Subscriptions and events: list-event-topics, list-subscriptions, get-subscription, create-subscription, update-subscription, delete-subscription.
  • Discovery support: list-workflows, list-actions, list-categories, list-plugins.
