No GUI. GUIs are for manual, bilateral integrations which do not scale.
The command line or a text editor or your configuration management of
choice are the UIs. After all the configuration files are text files
(Java property format or XML or maybe JSON for OIDC) so you're free to
use any tooling you like.

You can add metadata to the IDP in several ways, e.g. by dropping the
metadata into a directory in the file system.

The IDP's own metadata does not change by itself so there's no need to
show that dynamically via a GUI either. (You can easily make a copy
from the IDP's metadata and put it anywhere that's convenient.)

As for how to securely exchange metadata between IDPs and SPs there's
the Trust Management topic in the documentation, though that's an
advanced topic as far as this conversation goes.

If you haven't found the documentation by now you're in trouble.
If you have found it: That's the documentation there is.
There's noone reading the documentation into a camera, either.
