WHAT IT DOES

What apply_resource_deployment does on Terragrunt GCP Tool MCP

AI agents invoke apply_resource_deployment to trigger actions in Terragrunt GCP Tool MCP. 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 apply_resource_deployment needs a policy

Applying Terragrunt configurations executes infrastructure changes against GCP, which can create, modify, or replace cloud resources. While safety checks are mentioned, the action triggers external operations with real infrastructure impact. It spans Write and Execute categories; Execute is more appropriate since it runs Terragrunt against live cloud infrastructure.

From the tool's definition 'Apply changes to a Terragrunt resource with safety checks' — applying Terragrunt/Terraform changes provisions, modifies, or replaces real GCP infrastructure resources
