EdmActionImport

Represents an action import in an OData entity container.

Definition

Assembly: Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.dll

Namespace: Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models

Inheritance: System.Object

Syntax

Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmActionImport

Summary

Represents an action import in an OData entity container.

Remarks

Action imports expose actions as addressable resources in the OData service. They allow actions to be called through the service interface, providing custom operations that can have side effects. Actions are typically invoked using POST requests and can modify the state of the service.

Constructors

.ctor

Initializes a new instance of the EdmActionImport class.

Syntax

public EdmActionImport()

.ctor

Initializes a new instance of the EdmActionImport class with the specified name and action.

Syntax

public EdmActionImport(string name, string action)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
name	string	The name of the action import.
action	string	The fully qualified name of the action being imported.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArgumentException	Thrown when name or action is null or whitespace.

.ctor Inherited

Inherited from object

Syntax

public Object()

Properties

Action

Gets or sets the fully qualified name of the action being imported.

Syntax

public required string Action { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: string The namespace and name of the action that this import exposes.

Remarks

This references an action defined elsewhere in the model. The action import makes the action accessible as part of the entity container’s interface.

Annotations

Gets or sets the annotations for this action import.

Syntax

public System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, object> Annotations { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, object> A dictionary of annotations that provide additional metadata about the action import.

Remarks

Annotations can be used to specify additional behaviors, constraints, or metadata that are not captured by the standard OData model elements.

EntitySet

Gets or sets the entity set associated with this action import.

Syntax

public string EntitySet { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: string? The name of the entity set, or null if the action doesn’t return entities from a specific set.

Remarks

When the action returns entities, this property specifies which entity set those entities belong to. This is important for establishing the correct context for navigation properties and other operations.

Name

Gets or sets the name of the action import.

Syntax

public required string Name { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: string The name used to address this action import in OData URLs.

Remarks

The action import name appears in the URL path when invoking the action.
