Copilot tools are grouped by the data they read and the action they propose. Read-only tools explain the current state. Action tools create a confirmation plan before changing a resource.
| Category | Examples | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | Instance, shape, image, and network lookup | Current configuration |
| Observability | Metrics, events, and maintenance lookup | Evidence for an explanation |
| Comparison | Configuration and state comparison | Differences and likely impact |
| Operations | Power, rebuild, resize, or network action | Confirmed work request |
Copilot shows the target, requested change, expected impact, and rollback considerations before an action runs. Review each item and select Confirm only when the target and timing are correct.
- Select an instance and describe the outcome you need.
- Review the evidence Copilot gathered from read-only tools.
- Inspect the proposed action and its target resource.
- Select Confirm to submit the work request.
- Open the work request and verify the final instance state.
- Missing permission: ask a space administrator for the required capability.
- Unsupported action: use the instance details page for the supported operation.
- Stale target: refresh the session and select the instance again.
