any idea whats wrong with this? i keeop getting an error

- name: "Configure vNIC Template"

      api_uri: "{{ api_uri | default(omit) }}"
      validate_certs: "{{ validate_certs | default(omit) }}"
      state: "{{ state | default(omit) }}"

any idea? I check and look like vnic template dont support policybucket.

I changed it to

- name: "Configure vNIC Template"
  vars:
    api_info: &api_info_vnic
      api_private_key: "{{ api_private_key }}"
      api_key_id: "{{ api_key_id }}"
      api_uri: "{{ api_uri | default(omit) }}"
      validate_certs: "{{ validate_certs | default(omit) }}"
      state: "{{ state | default('present') }}"


  cisco.intersight.intersight_rest_api:
    <<: *api_info_vnic
    resource_path: "/vnic/VnicTemplates"
    query_params:
      $filter: "Name eq '{{ name_of_vnic_template }}'"
    api_body:
      ClassId: "vnic.VnicTemplate"
      Name: "{{ name_of_vnic_template }}"
      Description: "{{ description_of_vnic_template }}"
      SwitchId: "A"
      EnableOverride: true
      MacPool:
        Moid: "{{ mac_pool_fi_a_details.api_response.Moid }}"
        ClassId: "macpool.Pool"
      Organization:
        Moid: "{{ intersight_org.api_response.Moid }}"
        ClassId: "organization.Organization"
      FabricEthNetworkGroupPolicy:
        Moid: "{{ ethernet_network_group_policy_details.api_response.Moid }}"
        ClassId: "fabric.EthNetworkGroupPolicy"
      FabricEthNetworkControlPolicy:
        Moid: "{{ ethernet_network_control_policy_details.api_response.Moid }}"
        ClassId: "fabric.EthNetworkControlPolicy"
      EthQosPolicy:
        Moid: "{{ ethernet_qos_policy_details.api_response.Moid }}"
        ClassId: "vnic.EthQosPolicy"
      EthAdapterPolicy:
        Moid: "{{ ethernet_adapter_policy_details.api_response.Moid }}"
        ClassId: "vnic.EthAdapterPolicy"
      FailoverEnabled: false
      Tags:
        - Key: "configmode"
          Value: "ansible"

but stil failing

I'll post a full example including deriving vNICs from a template to the intersight-ansible repo on GitHub, but here's a working example of just creating a vNIC template:

---
#
# Configure vNIC Templates
#
- name: "Configure vNIC Template"
hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: false
vars:
# Create an anchor for api_info that can be used throughout the file
api_info: &api_info
# if api_key vars are omitted, INTERSIGHT_API_KEY_ID, INTERSIGHT_API_PRIVATE_KEY,
# and INTERSIGHT_API_URI environment variables used for API key data
api_private_key: "{{ api_private_key | default(omit) }}"
api_key_id: "{{ api_key_id | default(omit) }}"
api_uri: "{{ api_uri | default(omit) }}"
validate_certs: "{{ validate_certs | default(omit) }}"
state: "{{ state | default(omit) }}"
