Operations 6

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

GET /1.0/warnings List warnings as URLs · List the warnings #
Ask an LLM
“Are there any warnings raised on my LXD server, as a list of links?”
“Can I list only the warnings for one project?”
Tell an agent
List warning URLs for project {project}.
Give me links to every warning on the server.
DELETE /1.0/warnings/{uuid} Delete a warning · Delete the warning #
Ask an LLM
“How do I remove a warning from LXD entirely?”
“Can I delete a warning rather than just acknowledging it?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Delete warning {uuid}.
Remove this warning permanently.
GET /1.0/warnings/{uuid} Get one warning · Get the warning #
Ask an LLM
“What is a specific warning about and when did it last occur?”
“Can I look up a warning by its UUID?”
Tell an agent
Show warning {uuid}.
Look up one LXD warning's details.
PATCH /1.0/warnings/{uuid} Partially update a warning's status · Partially update the warning #
Ask an LLM
“Is there a partial update I can use to change just a warning's status?”
“Can I patch a warning instead of replacing it?”
Tell an agent
Patch warning {uuid} so its status becomes {status}.
Partially update this warning to {status}.
PUT /1.0/warnings/{uuid} Set a warning's status · Update the warning #
Ask an LLM
“How do I acknowledge an LXD warning so it stops showing as new?”
“Can I replace a warning's status outright?”
Tell an agent
Set the status of warning {uuid} to {status}.
Mark this warning as {status} with a full update.
GET /1.0/warnings?recursion=1 List warnings with full details · Get the warnings #
Ask an LLM
“What do all the current LXD warnings actually say?”
“Can I see each warning's status and message in one call?”
Tell an agent
Fetch every warning with full details in project {project}.
Show all warnings with their messages and status, not just URLs.
