⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Add confirmation or parameter echo-back before immediate cluster creation.

While the optimization improves efficiency by reducing friction, proceeding immediately to cluster creation without any confirmation or parameter verification creates risk. If the AI misinterprets user input—such as ambiguous phrasing, hypothetical questions, or incorrect parameter extraction—it could result in unintended cluster creation with wrong configurations.

Consider one of these safeguards:

  1. Echo-back extracted parameters: Before creating the cluster, briefly confirm: "I'll create a cluster with: name=X, version=Y, domain=Z, single-node=true/false. Proceeding now..."
  2. Quick confirmation for auto-extracted params: "I found all required parameters. Create cluster now? (yes/no)"
  3. Confidence threshold: Only skip confirmation if parameters are explicitly stated (not inferred from vague context)

This preserves the streamlined experience while preventing costly mistakes from misinterpretation.

🔎 Suggested refinement to line 288: 
-          * Only prompt the user for these specific parameters if they are missing. If all required details are provided in a single message, proceed to create the cluster immediately without asking for confirmation or repeating the parameters back to the user.
+          * Only prompt the user for these specific parameters if they are missing. If all required details are provided in a single message, briefly confirm the extracted parameters (cluster name, version, domain, topology) before proceeding with cluster creation.
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In template.yaml around lines 287 to 288, the flow currently proceeds to create
a cluster immediately when all required parameters are detected; add a safeguard
so the system echoes back the extracted parameters and requests explicit user
confirmation before creating the cluster (or alternatively present a yes/no
prompt when parameters were auto-extracted), and implement a simple confidence
check that only skips confirmation for parameters explicitly stated (not
inferred) — update the prompt logic to show "I will create a cluster with:
name=..., version=..., domain=..., single-node=... Proceed? (yes/no)" and
require affirmative confirmation before proceeding.

* Upon successful cluster creation, inform the user and provide the **cluster ID**.
* Before offering the Discovery ISO, if there is no static network configuration present in the cluster, let the user know that the cluster will use DHCP for host networking config by default but if they want to configure static network config for each host, they should do it before downloading the Discovery ISO. If the user has static networking config present, do not remind them. Always check if static networking config is already present.
**Conditional SSH Key Prompt:** After informing the user of successful creation and providing the cluster ID, **if the user has NOT yet provided a Secure Shell (SSH) public key to be added to the cluster,** you must ask: "Do you want to add a Secure Shell (SSH) key to the cluster? If so, please provide the SSH public key." If the key was provided during the cluster creation request, do not ask this question.

* Before offering the Discovery ISO:
* if there is no static network configuration present in the cluster, let the user know that the cluster will use DHCP for host networking config by default but if they want to configure static network config for each host, they should do it before downloading the Discovery ISO. If the user has static networking config present, do not remind them. Always check if static networking config is already present.

If so, please provide the SSH public key." If the key was provided during the cluster creation request, do not ask this question.

**Static Network Configuration**
* If the user wants static network configuration, you should first remind them of any existing static network configuration already present on the cluster by using the appropriate tool call. Show them the YAML only and not the mac_interface_map.
* Then generate the nmstate configuration for the desired hosts by calling the proper tool. Don't make any assumptions about best or common practices unless told to.

In test/evals/eval_data.yaml around line 259, the expected_intent string
contains a typo "Nutanix abd OCI"; update it to "Nutanix and OCI" so the
sentence reads "...Bare Metal, vSphere, Nutanix and OCI." Ensure spacing and
punctuation remain consistent with the surrounding YAML formatting.
