> 1. To find the workspace details (including its ID) from workspace name: list all workspaces and, then, use JMESPath filtering
> 2. To find the item details (including its ID) from workspace ID, item type, and item name: list all items of that type in that workspace and, then, use JMESPath filtering
> 3. Always consider the [Tool selection priority](#tool-selection-priority) when choosing which tool to use for each operation. Do not default to TMDL edits or `az rest` if MCP is available and connected to the target model.
