Installing script tool

MaxMax2 — Thu, 03 May 2018 19:19:31 GMT

Is it possible to install custom script tool into ArcGIS Pro? Ideally I want to be able to add my own toolbox with GP tool to the list of system toolboxes. As I know there is no way to create custom geoprocessing tool. But we can create script tool within a project via ArcGIS Pro. But what if I have python script and want to create installer for my product which will install this script (or toolbox)? Or at least...can a script tool be added into a project programmatically?

You can't add to the system tools, you can AddToolbox

and you can use a default toolbox once created

AddToolbox is not what I need... It adds toolbox into a script. I want to add script into ArcGIS Pro project programmatically, not via ArcGIS Pro UI. So I need programmatic way of this:

After clicking on Script menu item the dialog will be shown to specify script metadata:

Can I call some method on IProjectItem which represents Toolboxes element in catalog that will add my Python script along with all needed metadata?
