Tell an agent
List the device local credential records in the directory.
List local credential records for devices matching {filter}.
POST /directory/deviceLocalCredentials Add a device local credential record · Create new navigation property to deviceLocalCredentials for directory #
Ask an LLM
“Can I create a new local administrator credential record for a device by name?”
“What fields go into a new deviceLocalCredentialInfo entry, like last backup time?”
Tell an agent
Create a local credential record for device {device_name}.
Add a local credential entry for {device_name} with last backup at {last_backup}.
GET /directory/deviceLocalCredentials/{deviceLocalCredentialInfo-id} Get a device's local admin credential info · Get deviceLocalCredentialInfo #
Ask an LLM
“How do I retrieve the backed-up local admin password info for one device?”
“When is a specific device's local credential due to be refreshed?”
Tell an agent
Get the local credential info for device record {credential_id}.
Show {fields} from local credential record {credential_id}.
PATCH /directory/deviceLocalCredentials/{deviceLocalCredentialInfo-id} Update a device local credential record · Update the navigation property deviceLocalCredentials in directory #
Ask an LLM
“How do I change the refresh time on an existing device's local credential record?”
“Can I rename the device on a local credential entry that's already stored?”
Tell an agent

Change the device name on credential record {credential_id} to {device_name}.
DELETE /directory/deviceLocalCredentials/{deviceLocalCredentialInfo-id} Delete a device local credential record · Delete navigation property deviceLocalCredentials for directory #
Ask an LLM
“Can I remove a stale local admin credential record for a retired device?”
“What do I need to delete one deviceLocalCredentials entry from the directory?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Delete local credential record {credential_id}.
Remove device credential entry {credential_id} if its ETag is {etag}.
GET /directory/deviceLocalCredentials/$count Count device local credential records · Get the number of the resource #
Ask an LLM
“How many devices have local admin credentials backed up?”
