Use this skill for safe, read-only queries of VMware infrastructure — no destructive operations exist in the codebase; a test enforces it. Directly handles: a one-glance cross-cluster health summary, object-centered VM/host/datastore investigation drill-downs (correlating surrounding infrastructure + recent events), a cross-vCenter "what needs attention now?" rollup, list VMs/hosts/datastores/clusters, active alarms, recent events, VM details. Always use vmware-monitor when the user asks to…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

Read-only VMware vCenter/ESXi monitoring — 33 MCP tools, zero destructive code. > **Read-only toward vSphere**: no code path changes vCenter/ESXi state — no power, create, delete, snapshot, or reconfigure call exists. On vCenter it opens only its login session and short-lived query handles it releases. Gate: [`tests/eval/regression/test_read_only_enforcement.py`](https://github.com/vmware-skills/VMware-Monitor/blob/main/tests/eval/regression/test_read_only_enforcement.py) (source repo, not this bundle) requires every vSphere method called to be on a reviewed allowlist, checked against pyVmomi's type metadata. It checks source, not runtime, and no CI runs it. Independent of this code: use a… …

How to install
mdr add vmware-skills/vmware-monitor/vmware-monitor@sha256:4500890ca9b297e4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.03868e3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
