Does vSphere or an API/PowerShell command have the following feature? (Predictive Power On Checks)

I haven't seen it when looking, but wanted to check with the community about this.

I've been trying to solve a problem and trying to do it without creating a shell/proxy VM to test this.

I want to be able to have vCenter tell me which ESXi host in a DRS + HA Enabled cluster would be

e.g. I give the API call a VM Specification (all CPU/Memory/Disk/Network requirements), and the API call would return back with the prediction at that point in time.

When DRS is set to manual mode and you power up a VM, there will be a prompt with what hosts could power on the VM.  This is effectively what I want, but I don't want to actually create a proxy VM to check this.

I could do some automation, but the idea is that I want to create a net new VM using the same spec ... but create it on the host it would power on to.
