Teams CLI - Developer Portal Inventory and App details

[pkbullock]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I am trying to automate a process of interrogating the developer portal content for apps developed with Teams Toolkit to see if there are any solutions being developed that are connecting to external APIs e.g. Declarative API Plugins to allow checks for the security profile of the API as part of governance and security.

Describe the solution you'd like

I have seen that Teams Toolkit can setup and deploy apps to the Teams Developer Portal, but I cannot see any documentation for the API for this portal and presume this is not an official API or only for internal use.

Can the Teams CLI be expanded to include this functionality?

🤖 AI-Generated Preliminary Analysis:

Your feature request is about automating the interrogation of the Developer Portal content for apps developed using the Teams Toolkit to check if they are connecting to external APIs, which can be useful for governance and security purposes.

Current Capabilities:

The Teams Toolkit CLI (Command Line Interface) does have commands for setting up and deploying apps, but it appears that there is no documented API available for directly querying the Developer Portal's content.

Proposed Solution:

You are suggesting an expansion of the Teams CLI to include functionality that allows querying the Developer Portal to get information on apps and their connections to external APIs.

Actionable Steps:

1. Feature Request Submission: Given that this feature does not currently exist, it would be best to submit a feature request to the Teams Toolkit development team. You can do this by creating an issue on their GitHub repository: Teams Toolkit GitHub Issues.

2. Workaround: In the meantime, you might consider using the existing Teams Toolkit CLI to automate parts of your process indirectly. For instance, you could script the deployment process to log relevant metadata about the APIs your apps are connecting to.

Additional Information:

• Teams Toolkit CLI Documentation: This may provide more information on what is currently possible with the CLI: Teams Toolkit CLI Documentation.

• Official API Documentation: If Microsoft releases an official API for the Developer Portal, it will likely be documented here: Microsoft Teams Developer Documentation.

Conclusion:

Your request is valid and could significantly help in automating security and governance checks. For now, submitting a detailed feature request to the Teams Toolkit GitHub repository is the best course of action. This will bring the need to the attention of the development team, and they can evaluate the feasibility of adding such functionality.

If you need further assistance or have additional questions, feel free to ask!
