Review verification videos

Review Backup Verification Videos

When the user asks to review, check, or find backup-verification videos for VM/PS workloads (verification confirms a backup is bootable/recoverable):

See apm-mcp-conventions for shared conventions this skill relies on (list vs. get field completeness, pagination, permission modes).

1. Call list_machine_workloads with workload_types="ps,vm" and is_retired=false (paginate with limit/offset if total exceeds the page size). If the user only wants workloads that failed verification (not the full success/failed/in-progress breakdown), narrow this call with verify_status=["failed","partial","canceled"] instead of listing everything and grouping in step 3.

2. For each workload, call get_machine_version for that workload without a version_id — it resolves to the latest backup version in a single call.

3. Group by the latest version's verify_status:

   • success — a verification video is available; proceed to step 4 if the user wants it
   • failed / partial / canceled — flag as a workload needing attention (no usable video)
   • verifying / waiting — verification in progress or queued but not yet started
   • not_supported / not_enabled / missing — verification isn't configured for this workload; do not report it as a failure

4. For workloads with verify_status == success, call get_machine_verification_video_url with the workload and the version's version_id to get a time-limited download URL.

5. Present:

   • Summary: count by verification outcome (success / failed / in-progress / not configured)
   • For each success workload: name, version date, video URL (note that it expires — tell the user to download or open it promptly)
   • Workloads with failed/partial/canceled verification: name, last version date — recommend investigating with the investigate-backup-failure skill or re-running backup.

6. get_machine_verification_video_url is readonly and does not require elevated mode. There is no bulk "download all" tool — hand back the list of URLs for the user (or their own tooling) to fetch individually.
