vcf-super-cli 0.2.0

Modern, agent-friendly CLI for VMware Cloud Foundation 9, with a command tree generated dynamically from the vcf-sdk vAPI bindings.

vcf-super-cli (vsc)

A modern, agent-friendly CLI for VMware Cloud Foundation 9. The command tree is generated dynamically by introspecting the official vcf-sdk vAPI bindings — so the surface mirrors the real VCF 9 API instead of being hand-maintained.

$ vsc vsphere vm list --profile prod
$ vsc vsphere host get --host host-42
$ vsc nsx segments list --output table
$ vsc vsphere power stop vm-42 --apply        # writes are dry-run without --apply

⚠️ Alpha / pre-release. Reads (vSphere + NSX inventory) and writes are both available. Writes are dry-run by default — nothing changes without --apply, and a dry-run never opens a connection.

Why

• Mirrors the real API. Commands come from the SDK's own vAPI metadata (VapiInterface services + OperationRestMetadata), covering both vCenter and NSX from one generator.
• Modern. REST-first via vmware-vcenter, with pyVmomi as a fallback where REST lacks coverage.
• Safe by default. Writes preview as dry-runs unless you pass --apply; a dry-run never opens a connection.
• Agent-friendly. Deterministic command shape, machine-readable JSON output, a stable error envelope with documented exit codes, and a bundled agent Skill.
