      intent: List event source mappings
      effect: read
      questions:
      - Which queues and streams are wired up to trigger my functions?
      - Can I see only the mappings for one SQS queue or Kinesis stream?
      - What event sources feed a particular Lambda function?
      instructions:
      - text: List the event source mappings for function {function}.
        slots:
          function: query.FunctionName
      - text: List mappings attached to event source {source_arn}.

      intent: Connect a queue or stream to a function
      effect: write
      questions:
      - How do I make an SQS queue trigger my Lambda function?
      - Can I filter which stream records reach my function before it is invoked?
      - Where do I set batch size and starting position when wiring a Kinesis stream to a function?
      instructions:
      - text: Connect event source {source_arn} to function {function}.
        slots:
          source_arn: requestBody.EventSourceArn
          function: requestBody.FunctionName
      - text: Have {function} read stream {source_arn} from {starting_position} in batches of {batch_size}.
        slots:
          function: requestBody.FunctionName
          source_arn: requestBody.EventSourceArn
          starting_position: requestBody.StartingPosition
          batch_size: requestBody.BatchSize
      - text: Create a new trigger from {source_arn} to {function} that only passes records matching {filter}.
        slots:
          source_arn: requestBody.EventSourceArn

  update:
    x-apievangelist-phrasing:
      intent: Get the details of one event source mapping
      effect: read
      questions:
      - What is the current state and batch size of a specific event source mapping?
      - Is a given trigger mapping enabled or paused right now?
      instructions:
      - text: Show event source mapping {uuid}.
        slots:
          uuid: path.UUID
      - text: Tell me whether mapping {uuid} is enabled and which function it invokes.

          uuid: path.UUID

  update:
    x-apievangelist-phrasing:
      intent: Pause, resume or retune an event source mapping
      effect: write
      questions:
      - How do I pause a queue trigger and resume later from the same position?
      - Can I send failed batches from an existing mapping to an SQS queue or SNS topic?
      instructions:
      - text: Set enabled to {enabled} on event source mapping {uuid}.
        slots:
          uuid: path.UUID
          enabled: requestBody.Enabled
      - text: Point existing mapping {uuid} at function {function} with batch size {batch_size}.

          uuid: path.UUID
          function: requestBody.FunctionName
          batch_size: requestBody.BatchSize
      - text: Send failed records from mapping {uuid} to destination {destination}.

  update:
    x-apievangelist-phrasing:
      intent: Delete an event source mapping
      effect: destructive
      questions:
      - How do I stop Lambda from polling a queue or stream for good?
      - Does removing a trigger mapping delete the underlying queue?
      instructions:
      - text: Delete event source mapping {uuid}.
        slots:
          uuid: path.UUID
      - text: Remove trigger {uuid} so Lambda stops polling its source.
        slots:
          uuid: path.UUID
