Discover Unmanaged Resources

Find resources in cloud accounts that aren't managed by formae yet.

Workflow

1. Call get_agent_stats first to get an overview of unmanaged resource counts by provider
2. Based on the counts, use targeted list_resources queries with specific type filters to drill down (e.g., managed:false type:AWS::S3::Bucket). Never call list_resources with just managed:false — on real accounts this returns too much data and will overflow the context window.
3. Present results grouped by resource type, showing:
   • Resource type and label
   • Key properties
   • Which target/account they belong to
4. Ask the user if they want to bring any resources under management
5. If yes, use /formae-import to start the import workflow

Forcing a Fresh Discovery

If the user wants the latest view, call force_discover to trigger an immediate discovery scan before querying. Note that discovery runs asynchronously — wait a moment before querying results.

Presentation

• Start with a high-level summary of counts by type
• Only show full details for types the user is interested in
• Highlight resources that look like they belong to existing stacks
