## About VMware vSphere with LuumenAI

Give LuumenAI a scoped view of your VMware vSphere 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, subject to configured approval policy):

- `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 VMware vSphere?

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 VMware vSphere on its own?

For connected tools, admins configure which actions may run automatically and which require approval, within the access granted to the user.

### Is there an audit trail?

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