# Action Types

Action Types define where an action will appear in Terrakube. Here is the list of supported types:

### Workspace/Action

The action will appear on the Workspace page, next to the Lock button. Actions are not limited to buttons, but this section is particularly suitable for adding various kinds of buttons. Use this type for actions that involves interaction with the Workspace

### Workspace/ResourceDrawer/Action

The action will appear for each resource when you click on a resource using the Overview Workspace page or the Visual State Diagram. Use this when an action applies to specific resources, such as restarting a VM or any actions that involve interaction with the resource. \\

### Workspace/ResourceDrawer/Tab

The action will appear for each resource when you click on a resource using the Overview Workspace page or the Visual State Diagram. Use this when you want to display additional data for the resource, such as activity history, costs, metrics, and more.

For this type, the`Label` property will be used as the name of the Tab pane.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.terrakube.io/user-guide/workspaces/actions/developing-actions/action-types.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
