      Advertise non-availability by providing null as the advertisement value:

      "#Model.FirstAction": {} --> available
      "#Model.SecondAction": null --> not available

      Note that services must only return the null value in a 4.01 or greater response.

      Actions and functions that are not available on all instances can be advertised in responses, see http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/errata03/os/complete/part1-protocol/odata-v4.0-errata03-os-part1-protocol-complete.html#_Toc453752309.

      Problem with current approach: does absence of an advertisement mean that an action/function is not available, or does it mean that the service doesn't advertise its availability?
