## Definition

**Assembly:** Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.dll

**Namespace:** Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models

**Inheritance:** System.Object

## Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
Microsoft.OData.Mcp.Core.Models.EdmActionImport
```

## Summary

Represents an action import in an OData entity container.

## Remarks

Action imports expose actions as addressable resources in the OData service.
They allow actions to be called through the service interface, providing custom
operations that can have side effects. Actions are typically invoked using POST requests
and can modify the state of the service.

## Constructors

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  .ctor

Initializes a new instance of the [EdmActionImport](/odata-mcp/api-reference/Microsoft/OData/Mcp/Core/Models/EdmActionImport) class.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public EdmActionImport()
```

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  .ctor

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public EdmActionImport(string name, string action)
```

#### Parameters

| Name     | Type     | Description                                            |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `name`   | `string` | The name of the action import.                         |
| `action` | `string` | The fully qualified name of the action being imported. |

#### Exceptions

| Exception           | Description                                           |

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  .ctor <DocsBadge text="Inherited" variant="neutral" />

<Note>Inherited from `object`</Note>

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public Object()
```

## Properties

### <Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  Action

Gets or sets the fully qualified name of the action being imported.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public required string Action { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

Type: `string`
The namespace and name of the action that this import exposes.

#### Remarks

This references an action defined elsewhere in the model. The action import
makes the action accessible as part of the entity container's interface.

### <Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  Annotations

Gets or sets the annotations for this action import.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, object> Annotations { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

Type: `System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, object>`
A dictionary of annotations that provide additional metadata about the action import.

#### Remarks

Annotations can be used to specify additional behaviors, constraints, or metadata
that are not captured by the standard OData model elements.

### <Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  EntitySet

Gets or sets the entity set associated with this action import.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public string EntitySet { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

Type: `string?`
The name of the entity set, or `null` if the action doesn't return entities from a specific set.

#### Remarks

When the action returns entities, this property specifies which entity set
those entities belong to. This is important for establishing the correct context
for navigation properties and other operations.

### <Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} style={{ paddingRight: '8px' }} />  Name

Gets or sets the name of the action import.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public required string Name { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

Type: `string`
The name used to address this action import in OData URLs.

#### Remarks

The action import name appears in the URL path when invoking the action.
