[Feature Request] MCP tool for creating/updating Action Types

Product Feedback
1

Currently, MCP provides tools for creating/updating Object Types (create_or_update_foundry_object_type) and Link Types (create_or_update_foundry_link_type), but there is no equivalent tool for Action Types.

Current Behavior:

  • When an Object Type is created, Foundry auto-generates CRUD actions (create/modify/delete)
  • These auto-generated actions do NOT update when new properties are added to the Object Type
  • Custom action types defined in configuration cannot be created via MCP
  • The only way to update action type parameters is through the Foundry UI

Use Case:
We manage our ontology as code using a JSON config file + Python script. We define:

  • Object Types (works via MCP)
  • Link Types (works via MCP)
  • Action Types (no MCP support)

When adding an editOnly property to an Object Type, we need to also add it as a parameter to the corresponding Action Type. Without MCP support, this breaks the “ontology as code” workflow.

Requested Feature:
create_or_update_foundry_action_type MCP tool with ability to:

  • Add/remove parameters to existing action types
  • Create custom action types (beyond auto-generated CRUD)

:waving_hand: Hey,

We’ll treat adding a create_or_update_action_type tool as a high priority in the new year.

Out of curiosity could you share more details about your setup?
