Skill mgovedarov/mcp-vcf-orchestrator/skills/vcfa-operations

Run and operate VCF Automation Orchestrator, Service Broker, and Cloud Assembly through the mcp-vcf-orchestrator MCP server. Use when the user wants to run a workflow, troubleshoot a failed workflow execution or a stuck deployment, explore catalog items and deployments, manage day-2 actions, create or review blueprint templates, work with extensibility subscriptions and event topics, or discover what an environment offers. Encodes read-only-first discovery and confirm-before-write safety, and routes to the matching vcfa-* prompts.From its SKILL.md

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.
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.

Live objects are also available as read-only resources, e.g. vcfa://deployments/{id}, vcfa://workflows/{id}, and vcfa://subscriptions/{id}.

vra8 mode caveat

When the server runs with VCFA_TARGET_PLATFORM=vra8 (vRA/vRO 8.12+ Basic auth), only vRO read operations plus workflow execution and execution logs are supported. Automation-service surfaces — catalog, deployments, templates, subscriptions, and event topics — are intentionally unsupported in that mode.
