But in general, anything that can't change state of a domain/network/... is considered okay for RO connections (e.g. listing domains, getting domain XML without security info, etc.). For everything else you'll need RW connection. Alternatively, you may look at our RPC protocol description [2] and if the API is described with "domain:read" then it's okay for RO connection. 1: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/libvirt-domain.c 2: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/remote/remote_protoc...
