Typed product workflow roadmap

The optional product backends remain opt-in and lab-friendly, but now cover the verified operational families needed for migration, assurance, NAC, posture, and guarded configuration workflows. The low-token router keeps this broader catalog out of client context until find_tool selects a workflow.

Use this page as the implementation roadmap for typed tools that should graduate from generic GET exploration into named MCP workflows.

The ArubaOS 8-to-Classic/New Central migration rows below are gated by the authoritative source-to-target contract in aos8-migration-contract-matrix.md. Any family that matrix classifies manual/unsupported remains blocked for automatic writes regardless of what appears here.

Catalog snapshot

Surface Tool count
Central generated + curated configuration, monitoring, NAC, and operations 1,924
GreenLake Platform 1,011
RAG/OpenAPI 11
Optional products, read-only annotated 1,773
Optional products, guarded writes included 3,757

Promotion rule

Promote a generic GET pattern to a typed tool when it is:

Signal Why it matters
Repeated in real troubleshooting Saves prompt tokens and user time
Easy to type safely Clear parameters and bounded output
Useful across tenants More than a one-off lab endpoint
Write/destructive Needs explicit MCP annotations and confirmation

Axis implemented starters

Workflow Tool Notes
Split CRUD per entity axis_get_applications / axis_create_application / axis_update_application / axis_delete_application (and 9 more top-level entities: application groups, connectors, connector zones, groups, locations, SSL exclusions, tunnels, users, web categories) Generated from the reviewed 47-operation manifest; each verb is a distinct tool with exact write/destructive annotations, splitting the upstream fused manage_entity action
Staged commit axis_commit_changes Applies staged create/update/delete changes
Connector actions axis_regenerate_connector Guarded connector credential regeneration
Sub-locations axis_get_sub_locations / axis_create_sub_location / axis_update_sub_location / axis_delete_sub_location Nested-location split CRUD
Status axis_get_status Read-only backend status

(v0.7) scripts/evaluate_axis_lab.py adds an always-on, offline split-CRUD contract check (confirms all 10 entities have a complete query/create/update/delete set), a bounded opt-in read-only live check (HPE_MCP_LIVE_TEST_AXIS_READ=1), and a disposable-write plan (opt-in, requires the read gate too) that is only ever generated and SHA-256-hashed — never executed.

UXI implemented starters

Workflow Tool Notes
Backend status uxi_status Shows whether UXI OAuth client credentials are configured
Guarded UXI GET uxi_get Read-only GET limited to selected UXI list endpoints and /sensors/{id}/status; list payloads are bounded with limit / offset
Sensor inventory and status uxi_list_sensors / uxi_get_sensor_status Compact sensor identity/model/MAC/group/location fields plus online/testing status
Agent and group inventory uxi_list_agents / uxi_list_groups Compact agent and group reads with cursor-style pagination
Network and service-test inventory uxi_list_wired_networks / uxi_list_wireless_networks / uxi_list_service_tests Read-only network and service test views
Group assignments uxi_list_agent_group_assignments / uxi_list_sensor_group_assignments / uxi_list_network_group_assignments / uxi_list_service_test_group_assignments Assignment-list views for agents, sensors, networks, and service tests

UXI implemented lab writes

Workflow Tool Notes
Generic guarded write uxi_write Only method/path combinations documented by the current UXI v1alpha1 specification
Group lifecycle uxi_create_group / uxi_update_group / uxi_delete_group Dry-run and confirmation gated
Sensor and agent lifecycle uxi_update_sensor / uxi_update_agent / uxi_delete_agent Guarded documented resource changes; the current API has no sensor DELETE
Assignments uxi_assign_sensor_to_group / uxi_assign_agent_to_group / uxi_assign_network_to_group / uxi_assign_service_test_to_group Explicit group-assignment workflows

Remaining optional typed candidates

EdgeConnect production use remains dependent on the target Orchestrator’s live gmsApiInfo.json / vxoaApiInfo.json. Apstra’s 135-operation generated set (v0.7) is SDK-derived rather than a full appliance OpenAPI export; its coverage_gaps provenance field records the specific verbs the pinned SDK does not model (rack-type create, telemetry-collector delete, device-profile digest writes, IBA widgets/import/export, and the binary streaming-telemetry-schema endpoint). UXI service tests have no create/update/delete API at all (only list, and only their group assignment is writable) — a permanent upstream omission, not a missing curated wrapper. Continue promoting curated tools only after the vendor source or target instance confirms the request shape.

Ranked next capabilities

The next roadmap is based on current HPE Aruba Networking documentation and public MCP/OpenAPI prior art. External projects are design references only; vendor specifications and live target behavior remain authoritative.

Rank Capability Recommended scope Evidence
1 Central Streaming API collector Add a bounded, authenticated WSS collector for AP monitoring and geofence topics, including CloudEvents/protobuf decoding, event/byte/time caps, and an explicit Advanced-subscription prerequisite. developer_docs/developer_arubanetworks_com_new-central_docs_streaming-api-connection-management.md, developer_docs/developer_arubanetworks_com_new-central_docs_streaming-api-event-ap-monitoring.md
2 Better low-token tool ranking Add BM25 as a deterministic ranking layer beside the current keyword and semantic passes, while retaining compact results and the read/diagnostic/write/destructive gates. Do not replace the router with an upstream generic dispatcher that exposes full schemas or weakens write controls. FastMCP Tool Search
3 Plain-language OpenAPI summaries Add an endpoint-family summary tier between find_tool and exact lookup_api results so an agent can disambiguate a large API without loading full schemas. janwilmake/openapi-mcp-server
4 Generated router trajectory evals Extend openapi_gen to emit framework-neutral YAML smoke cases that grade tool selection, argument construction, correctness, and hallucination across find_tool -> dispatch trajectories. cnoe-io/openapi-mcp-codegen
5 Git-incremental vendor-source RAG Index official SDKs and example repositories alongside documentation, recording repository URL and commit provenance and refreshing only changed files. kvncampos/nautobot_mcp
6 Telemetry-to-remediation plans Correlate alerts, audit trails, and state-of-truth data into read-only drift findings, then produce dry-run remediation plans that require the existing confirmation and platform write gates before execution. Concept demonstrated by kiskander/mcp-splunk-meraki; no license, so do not reuse its code
7 Generated-backend provenance parity Normalize source-pin/provenance checks for Mist, Axis, and EdgeConnect, then promote high-value typed workflows such as EdgeConnect SD-WAN-AI sessions and Apstra blueprint commit/rollback. src/hpe_networking_mcp/mcp_servers/openapi_gen/provenance/, scripts/check_generated_tool_manifests.py

Design constraints

  1. Keep optional products opt-in via HPE_MCP_PRODUCTS.
  2. Include both read and guarded write options for lab workflows where verified write endpoints are in scope.
  3. Keep outputs compact and paginated.
  4. Require explicit write/destructive annotations and confirmation for writes.
  5. Keep product tokens in .env; do not duplicate them into MCP client configs.
  6. Honor safe-read-only globally and the custom HPE_MCP_PRODUCT_ACCESS=read-only default by hiding/blocking optional product write tools.
