Operations 3

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 /v1/config/rulestacks/{rulestackname}/fileblockingprofiles/custom/filetypes List file blocking file types on a rulestack · Retrieve file blocking profile #
Ask an LLM
“Which file types does the custom file blocking profile on a rulestack cover?”
“Can I see the uncommitted or running file blocking settings for a rulestack?”
Tell an agent
List the file blocking profile file types for rulestack {rulestackname}.
Show the running file blocking file types on rulestack {rulestackname}, running={running}.
GET /v1/config/rulestacks/{rulestackname}/fileblockingprofiles/custom/filetypes/{type} Get file blocking settings for one file type · Retrieve file blocking data #
Ask an LLM
“What action and direction are set for a single file type in a rulestack's file blocking profile?”
“Can I check the candidate file blocking setting for one file type before committing?”
Tell an agent
Get the file blocking setting for file type {type} on rulestack {rulestackname}.
Show the candidate file blocking action for {type} in rulestack {rulestackname}, candidate={candidate}.
PUT /v1/config/rulestacks/{rulestackname}/fileblockingprofiles/custom/filetypes/{type} Set the file blocking action for a file type · Update file blocking profile #
Ask an LLM
“How do I block a specific file type from being uploaded or downloaded through a rulestack?”
“Can I add an audit comment when changing a file blocking action?”
Tell an agent
Set file type {type} on rulestack {rulestackname} to action {Action} in direction {Direction}.
Change {type} blocking on rulestack {rulestackname} to {Action} for {Direction} traffic with comment {AuditComment}.
