PXE reinstall step 1: create an OS reinstall master key (eq/reinstall). Returns reinstall_key used by check_task to track install stages. DESTRUCTIVE: part of the process that wipes server disks.

PXE reinstall step 2: create a PXE config for OS install (eq/create_pxe). DESTRUCTIVE.

Set server boot order (eq/boot_dev): pxe — network boot (reinstall step 3), disk — boot from disk (step 6), cd — mounted ISO.

PXE reinstall step 7: remove the PXE config (eq/clear_pxe). REQUIRED after completion — otherwise an unexpected reinstall may occur on the next reboot.

List available ISO images (iso/list_iso). InvAPI requires a server id (for client keys); images are matched to the server configuration.

Pay an invoice in full or in part from the credit balance (whmcs/apply_credit). MONEY: deducts funds from the account.

Create a group invoice to pay multiple invoices at once (whmcs/mass_pay). MONEY.

Withdraw a service cancellation request (whmcs/delete_cancellation_request).

Check async job status by callback key (eq_callback/check). Many InvAPI operations (power on/off, order, reinstall, snapshots) return {"result":"OK","callback":"<key>"}. Pass that key here: result="Not ready" — still running; result="OK" — finished (key then expires). Server deploy can take 10–30 minutes. If the client sent progressToken, emits notifications/progress.

Power on a server (eq/on). Async: response includes a callback key for check_task.

Power off a server (eq/off). DESTRUCTIVE: interrupts all services on the server. Requires confirm=true. Async: response includes a callback key for check_task.

Reboot a server (eq/reboot). Interrupts services during reboot. Requires confirm=true. Async: response includes a callback key for check_task.

Order an instant or stock server (eq/order_instance). IMPORTANT: ordering charges the credit balance or creates an invoice. Defaults to dry_run=true — only checks preset/OS availability and returns a summary without placing an order. For a real order pass dry_run=false and confirm=true after explicit user consent on the cost. Deploy takes 10–30 minutes; status via check_task.

Reinstall OS on an existing server (simplified path via eq/order_instance with id). DESTRUCTIVE: all disk data will be erased. Requires HOSTKEY_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=1 in the server environment, confirm=true, and re-entering the server's current hostname. Async: status via check_task.

Universal direct InvAPI call by resource and action, for resources without typed tools (e.g.: iso — ISO image library, s3 — S3 Object Storage, rhr — Remote Hands new version; see action list in the docs: https://hostkey.com/documentation/apidocs/). ALWAYS requires confirm=true; destructive/paid actions additionally require HOSTKEY_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=1. Prefer typed tools when they exist for the needed operation.
