Use IdLE

This section is the hands-on guide for running IdLE in real environments:

• define workflows (data-only)
• create requests
• build plans (validation + template resolution)
• invoke plans (execution + events)
• provide providers and (if required) authentication from your host

info

IdLE is not a “click tool”. The primary interfaces are workflow files plus a small set of public cmdlets. Reference pages are the single source of truth for schemas and cmdlet details.

Start here

1. Installation
2. Quick Start — first successful run (mock provider, safe)
3. Walkthrough — the full lifecycle, step by step:
   • Workflow definition
   • Request creation
   • Create Plan
   • Invoke & interpret results
   • Providers & authentication (host responsibility)

Use topics

• Workflows — how workflow files are structured and validated
• Providers — provider mapping and authentication patterns
• Plan Export — export plans for review, CI artifacts, and audit
