The VMware dynamic inventory plugin will track your running VMs, creating and updating an inventory (or list) of all VMs running in VMware: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/scenario_guides/vmware_scenarios/vmware_inventory.html <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/scenario_guides/vmware_scenarios/vmware_inventory.html>
Once you have the VMs in inventory, you can use the VMware guest info module to retrieve information about the individual VMs: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/vmware_guest_info_module.html#vmware-guest-info-module <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/vmware_guest_info_module.html#vmware-guest-info-module> You can also reach out to the working group for VMware on Freenode IRC - the channel is #ansible-vmware.
