## Symptoms

- * Running an Ansible playbook in the check mode (with the "`--check`" flag) with [Check Point Gaia API Collection](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/check_point/gaia/) implements the change immediately, instead of running in the simulation mode.

* The Check Point Ansible Gaia Collection in Ansible Galaxy shows that the "`check_mode`" is supported.

* Running an Ansible playbook in the diff mode (with the "`--diff`" flag) with [Check Point Gaia API Collection](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/check_point/gaia/) does not show the changes.

## Cause

Check Point Gaia API Collection mistakenly shows that it supports the "check mode".
