What arvan_iac_terraform_apply does on ArvanCloud MCP Server
AI agents invoke arvan_iac_terraform_apply to trigger actions in ArvanCloud MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why arvan_iac_terraform_apply is rated High
terraform apply provisions or modifies real cloud infrastructure by executing Terraform plans. This can spin up VMs, networks, storage, and other resources at scale. While it can create or update (not purely destructive), it executes external operations with potentially massive blast radius — misconfigured plans can provision expensive resources, expose security vulnerabilities, or disrupt existing infrastructure.
