      Currently the REST API (/rest/v0) has no endpoint for updating VM properties such as name_description or name_label from what I can find. The only available VM actions are
      lifecycle operations (start, shutdown, reboot, snapshot, etc.).

      Use case: I'm running an n8n automation that collects a list of active Docker containers running in different VM's, and I want to write that summary back to the VM's description field in XO — giving a live "what's running here" view directly in the XO UI without needing a separate dashboard. Would love to see this added.
