WHAT IT DOES

What run_conftest_workspace_plan_validation does on Azure Terraform MCP Server

AI agents invoke run_conftest_workspace_plan_validation to trigger actions in Azure Terraform 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 IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why run_conftest_workspace_plan_validation needs a policy

This tool executes conftest validation logic against Terraform plans. While validation itself is typically safe, conftest runs policy-as-code checks that can have complex side effects depending on policies configured. The tool accepts workspace plan inputs whose processing effects depend on arguments (which policies are applied, what workspace state exists).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'run_conftest_workspace_plan_validation' — the 'run' verb indicates execution of an external validation tool (conftest) against Terraform workspace plans.
