Operations 16

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 /definitions List compliance frameworks (unversioned path) · List Compliance Frameworks #
Ask an LLM
“Which compliance frameworks exist in my tenant service group, via the unversioned definitions endpoint?”
“Can the short /definitions listing filter frameworks by category or status?”
Tell an agent
Using the unversioned definitions endpoint, list all compliance frameworks.
Via the short-path definitions API, list frameworks in category {category} with status {status}.
POST /definitions Create a compliance framework (unversioned path) · Create Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“How do I define a new compliance framework through the unversioned definitions endpoint?”
“Does the server assign the id when I post a framework to the short /definitions path?”
Tell an agent
Through the unversioned definitions endpoint, create compliance framework {name}.
Post a framework named {name} sourced from {source_url} to the short-path definitions API.
GET /definitions/{id} Get a framework revision (unversioned path) · Get Framework Revision #
Ask an LLM
“Can I fetch the in-progress draft of a framework from the unversioned definitions endpoint?”
“What does the op parameter choose when reading a framework on the short /definitions path?”
Tell an agent
From the unversioned definitions endpoint, get framework {id} with op {op}.
Via the short-path API, show the released revision of framework {id} using op {op}.
PUT /definitions/{id} Update a compliance framework (unversioned path) · Update Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“How does editing a framework on the unversioned endpoint decide between the in-progress draft and a new revision?”
“Can I release a framework revision right away when updating through the short /definitions path?”
Tell an agent
On the unversioned definitions endpoint, rename framework {id} to {name}.
Via the short-path API, update framework {id} and set release to {release}.
DELETE /definitions/{id} Delete a compliance framework (unversioned path) · Delete Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“Does deleting a framework on the unversioned definitions endpoint remove every revision too?”
“Is framework deletion through the short /definitions path permanent?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Permanently delete framework {id} via the unversioned definitions endpoint.
Remove framework {id} and its revisions using the short /definitions path.
POST /definitions/{id}:clone Clone a compliance framework (unversioned path) · Clone Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“Can I copy an existing framework into my TSG using the unversioned clone action?”
“What call on the short /definitions path duplicates a framework?”
Tell an agent
Clone framework {id} with the unversioned definitions clone action.
Duplicate framework {id} into my TSG through the short-path API.
POST /definitions/{id}:benchmark Mark framework as benchmark (unversioned path) · Benchmark Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“How do I flag a framework as a benchmark on the unversioned definitions endpoint?”
“Which short-path action sets the benchmark designation on a framework?”
Tell an agent
Using the unversioned endpoint, mark framework {id} as a benchmark.
Flag framework {id} as benchmark via the short /definitions path.
POST /definitions/{id}:un-benchmark Remove benchmark flag (unversioned path) · Remove Framework Benchmark #
Ask an LLM
“Can I clear the benchmark designation from a framework via the unversioned definitions endpoint?”
“Which short-path action un-benchmarks a framework?”
Tell an agent
Via the short-path API, remove the benchmark flag from framework {id}.
Un-benchmark framework {id} on the unversioned definitions endpoint.
GET /compliance-frameworks/v1/definitions List compliance frameworks (v1 API) · List Compliance Frameworks #
Ask an LLM
“What compliance frameworks does the v1 compliance-frameworks API return for my TSG?”
“Can I filter the v1 framework list down to one category or a status?”
Tell an agent
List all compliance frameworks with the v1 compliance-frameworks API.
With the v1 API, list frameworks whose category is {category} and status is {status}.
POST /compliance-frameworks/v1/definitions Create a compliance framework (v1 API) · Create Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“Can I create a custom compliance framework with a hierarchy using the v1 compliance-frameworks API?”
“Which fields does the v1 API accept when I add a framework, such as source URL and logo?”
Tell an agent
Create a v1 compliance framework called {name} described as {description}.
With the v1 API, add framework {name} in category {category}.
GET /compliance-frameworks/v1/definitions/{id} Get a framework revision (v1 API) · Get Framework Revision #
Ask an LLM
“How do I read the currently released revision of a framework with the v1 compliance-frameworks API?”
“Can the v1 API return a framework's in-progress revision instead of the released one?”
Tell an agent
Get v1 compliance framework {id} using op {op}.
Show the in-progress revision of framework {id} from the v1 API with op {op}.
PUT /compliance-frameworks/v1/definitions/{id} Update a compliance framework (v1 API) · Update Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“Does updating a framework through the v1 API create a new in-progress revision when none exists?”
“Can I publish my framework edits immediately with the v1 release flag?”
Tell an agent
Update v1 compliance framework {id} with description {description}.
Edit framework {id} in the v1 API and release it with release {release}.
DELETE /compliance-frameworks/v1/definitions/{id} Delete a compliance framework (v1 API) · Delete Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“Can I permanently remove a framework and all its revisions with the v1 compliance-frameworks API?”
“What gets deleted along with a framework in the v1 API?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Delete v1 compliance framework {id} and all of its revisions.
Permanently remove framework {id} through the v1 compliance-frameworks API.
POST /compliance-frameworks/v1/definitions/{id}:clone Clone a compliance framework (v1 API) · Clone Compliance Framework #
Ask an LLM
“Can I duplicate a compliance framework into my TSG with the v1 API?”
“Which v1 compliance-frameworks action makes a copy of an existing framework?”
Tell an agent
Make a v1 copy of compliance framework {id} in my TSG.
