WHAT IT DOES

What run_conftest_workspace_validation does on Azure Terraform MCP Server

AI agents invoke run_conftest_workspace_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_validation needs a policy

This tool runs conftest validation policies against a Terraform workspace. Even though validation itself is non-destructive, 'run_' indicates execution of an external tool/engine whose behavior depends on arguments and workspace state.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'run_' and 'validation' in the context of conftest, which is a policy-as-code framework that executes Rego policies against configuration files.
