| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| MCP tools | get_azure_bestpractices_get, wellarchitectedframework_serviceguide_get, microsoft_docs_fetch, microsoft_docs_search, bicepschema_get |
| CLI commands | az deployment group create, az bicep build, az resource list, terraform init, terraform plan, terraform validate, terraform apply |
| Output schema | plan-schema.md |
| Key references | research.md, resources/, waf-checklist.md, constraints/ |
Read workflow.md for detailed step-by-step instructions, including MCP tool usage, CLI commands, and decision points. Follow the phases in order, ensuring all key gates are passed before proceeding to the next phase.
| Phase | Action | Key Gate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Research — WAF Tools | All MCP tool calls complete |
| 2 | Research — Refine & Lookup | Resource list approved by user |
| 3 | Plan Generation | Plan JSON written to disk |
| 4 | Verification | All checks pass, user approves |
| 5 | IaC Generation | meta.status = approved |
| 6 | Deployment | User confirms destructive actions |
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
get_azure_bestpractices_get | Azure best practices for code generation, operations, and deployment |
wellarchitectedframework_serviceguide_get | WAF service guide for a specific Azure service |
microsoft_docs_search | Search Microsoft Learn for relevant documentation chunks |
microsoft_docs_fetch | Fetch full content of a Microsoft Learn page by URL |
bicepschema_get | Bicep schema definition for any Azure resource type (latest API version) |
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| MCP tool error or not available | Tool call timeout, connection error, or tool doesn't exist | Retry once; fall back to reference files and notify user if unresolved |
| Plan approval missing | meta.status is not approved | Stop and prompt user for approval before IaC generation or deployment |
| IaC validation failure | az bicep build or terraform validate returns errors | Fix the generated code and re-validate; notify user if unresolved |
| Pairing constraint violation | Incompatible SKU or resource combination | Fix in plan before proceeding to IaC generation |
| Infra plan or IaC files not found | Files written to wrong location or not created | Verify files exist at <project-root>/.azure/ and <project-root>/infra/; if missing, re-create the files by following workflow.md exactly |
