When true, executes the operation. When false (default), returns a dry-run preview with match_count and a sample of matching resource IDs so the client can verify before committing.

match_all enum

When true, targets every resource. Requires an explicit opt-in. Omitted by default.

Values: true

Free-text search string matched against the resource-defined searchable fields. Cannot be empty; to target every resource use match_all: true.

sample string[] · max items: 100 required

Sample of matching resource IDs (up to 100) for spot-checking before executing.
