If you're sure that you always want the first (i.e. index 0) item,  
then it should be as easy as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- debug:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;msg: "{{disk\_facts.guest\_disk\_facts | first }}"

Alternatively you can use selectattr/map to filter out a specific  
entry, for instance based on the label or backing\_filename.

When i’m use _{{disk\_facts.guest\_disk\_facts | first }}_ the result is:

ok: [host1] =\> {  
“msg”: “1”
