Yep, you can search for a VM using many attributes, for example to
search for a VM using IP address:
https://fqdn/ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=ip=1.2.3.4
Here you have more search parameters you can use to find a VM:

OK, that's a great place for me to start. However the problem is that
all my post-install tooling is now running on a VM that knows nothing
about itself (having been installed via pxe and kickstart) like it's
{vm_id}. Can the API be used to query for a VM and it's attributes
based on something like a MAC address or the IP itself?

We don't have any such resource. We have those information in different
places of the API. For example to find the information about
devices of
the VM, like network device information (IP address, MAC, etc), you can
query:
/ovirt-engine/api/vms/{vm_id}/reporteddevices
The FQDN is listed right in the basic information of the VM quering the
VM itself:
/ovirt-engine/api/vms/{vm_id}
You can find all the information about specific attributes returned by
the API here in the documentation:

Is there an API endpoint that VM's can query to discover it's
oVirt metadata? Something similar to AWS's

<http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
<http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/>> query in EC2? I'm
trying to stitch a lot of automation workflow together and so
far I have had great luck with oVirt. But the next small hurdle
is to figure out how all the post-install setup stuff can figure
out who the VM is so it can the appropriate configurations.
Thanks!
