    Tool: create_unit_kind

    Creates a UnitKind resource. Required parameters: 'parent' (e.g. projects/my-project/locations/us-central1), 'unit_kind_id', 'unit_kind'. Optional parameters: 'validate_only', 'request_id'.

    The following sample demonstrate how to use curl to invoke the create_unit_kind MCP tool.

    Input Schema

    The request structure for the CreateUnitKind method.

    CreateUnitKindRequest

 "requestId"

 string

    Fields
    parent

    string

    Required. The parent of the unit kind.
    unitKindId

    string

    Required. The ID value for the new unit kind.
    unitKind

    object ( UnitKind )

    Required. The desired state for the unit kind.
    validateOnly

    boolean

    If "validate_only" is set to true, the service will try to validate that this request would succeed, but will not actually make changes.
    requestId

    string

    An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes since the first request.

    For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

    The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
