## About NGINX with LuumenAI

Give LuumenAI a scoped view of your NGINX estate: inventory, health, events, and configuration alongside SSH sessions and tickets. Restarts, scaling, and configuration changes are previewed as a plan and gated by approval before anything runs.

## Example tools

Read-only (10 in total):

- `Inventory resources` — List instances, clusters, buckets, or services with tags and state.
- `Describe resource health` — Status checks, recent events, and configuration for one resource.
- `Read logs & events` — Pull recent platform events into the investigation.
- `List regions & zones` — Where resources run and what is available.
- `Get quotas & limits` — Usage against service quotas.
- `List security groups` — Firewall rules attached to a resource.
- `Get cost summary` — Spend by service, tag, or account.
- `Describe network` — VPCs, subnets, routes, and peering.

Write and destructive (6 in total, approval required by default):

- `Restart or scale` — Restart a service or change capacity within a reviewed plan.
- `Apply configuration change` — Change settings on a scoped resource with the diff previewed first.
- `Tag resource` — Add or change tags as an approved edit.
- `Attach volume` — Attach storage to an instance.
- `Update security group` — Add or remove a rule with the diff shown.
- `Create snapshot` — Take a backup before a change.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to NGINX?

Authorize once with Service account. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in NGINX on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes is shown as a plan and requires approval by default. Administrators configure that per tool.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to NGINX — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
