write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
incident_timeline[READ] Correlate already-fetched VMware events into one incident view.
list_symptom_categories[READ] List the symptom categories vmware-debug recognises, each with example keywords and a suggested next check (which skill/tool to run). Takes no parameters. Use this when you don't yet know what to look at — it turns "something's wrong" into concrete investigation steps. Then gather the events those checks name and pass them to incident_timeline.

The diagnostic brain of the VMware skill family. You bring the symptom (an error, a log dump, a slow VM); this skill runs a systematic investigation, correlates events from the other skills into one timeline, ranks root-cause hypotheses, and tells you what to check next. It never touches vSphere — it connects to nothing and never executes fixes; its only writes are to a local case ledger under $OPS_HOME. Remediation is routed to vmware-aiops (single op) or vmware-pilot (multi-step, gated), mirroring the vmware-harden → vmware-pilot advisor/executor split.
See skills/vmware-debug/SKILL.md for the full methodology, the event-envelope contract, and symptom routing.
MCP tools (14 — 7 read, 7 write)
The seven writes go to the local case ledger only; none reaches a VMware system.
Correlation — stateless, for a single look:
Investigation ledger — for an incident you will reason about over time:
Offline / Air-Gapped Install (from source)
This project uses the modern PEP 517 build system (hatchling), so there is no setup.py by design — that is expected, not a missing file. If you cloned the source and hit ERROR: File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found ... editable mode currently requires a setuptools-based build, your pip is older than 21.3 and cannot do an editable (-e) install with a non-setuptools backend. Editable mode is a developer convenience, not needed to run the tool — do one of:
# From the source tree — a normal (non-editable) install builds a wheel:
pip install . # NOT pip install -e .
# ...or upgrade pip first, and editable works too:
pip install --upgrade pip && pip install -e .For a truly air-gapped host, build the wheels on a connected machine and copy them over — the target then needs no network:
# On a connected machine, collect this package + its dependencies as wheels:
pip wheel . -w dist # → dist/*.whl (or: uv build, for just this package)
# Copy dist/ to the air-gapped host, then install offline:
pip install --no-index --find-links dist vmware-debugLicense
