Fetches `$metadata`, reads one row from the first entity set, says which of the two is secured, checks the row against the model, and prints a verdict. With auth flags it probes again through the authenticating client; without them, on a 401 it runs OAuth discovery and prints what it found. ## Examples ```csharp theme={null} dotnet odata-mcp try https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc dotnet odata-mcp try https://api.example.com/odata --client-id {app-id} ``` ## Constructors ### .ctor #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public TryCommand() ``` ### .ctor Inherited > [!NOTE] > > Inherited from `object` #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public Object() ``` ## Properties ### ApiKey Gets or sets the raw API key value for the API key escape hatch. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string ApiKey { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### ApiKeyHeader Gets or sets the header name [TryCommand.ApiKey](https://ai.easyaf.dev/odata-mcp/api-reference/Microsoft/OData/Mcp/Tools/Commands/TryCommand.md#apikey) is sent under. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string ApiKeyHeader { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### AuthServer Gets or sets the operator's authorization server override. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string AuthServer { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### AuthTimeout Gets or sets how long, in seconds, an interactive grant may run before it is abandoned. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public System.Nullable AuthTimeout { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `System.Nullable?` ### AuthToken Gets or sets the authentication token. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string AuthToken { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### BasicPassword Gets or sets the RFC 7617 Basic authentication password. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string BasicPassword { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### BasicUser Gets or sets the RFC 7617 Basic authentication user name. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string BasicUser { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### ClientId Gets or sets the OAuth client id this process authenticates as. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string ClientId { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### ClientMetadataDocument Gets or sets the client identity metadata document (CIMD) URI. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string ClientMetadataDocument { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### ClientSecret Gets or sets the OAuth client secret for a confidential client. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string ClientSecret { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### Grant Gets or sets the operator's `--grant` selection. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string Grant { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### IdpClientId Gets or sets the enterprise IdP client id used to obtain the id token the identity assertion grant exchanges. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string IdpClientId { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### IdpClientSecret Gets or sets the enterprise IdP client secret. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string IdpClientSecret { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### IdpIdTokenFile Gets or sets the path to a UTF-8 OIDC id token file for the identity assertion grant. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string IdpIdTokenFile { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### IdpScope Gets or sets the scope requested from the enterprise IdP. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string IdpScope { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### IdpTokenEndpoint Gets or sets the enterprise IdP token endpoint. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string IdpTokenEndpoint { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### IdpUrl Gets or sets the enterprise IdP base URL. #### Syntax ```csharp theme={null} public string IdpUrl { get; set; } ``` #### Property Value Type: `string?` ### Output Gets or sets where the probe report is written.
