Terraform Cloud API
HashiCorp Terraform Cloud's REST API for managing workspaces, runs, state files, variables, and modules. Enables programmatic control of infrastructure-as-code workflows and pipelines.
Best When
An agent needs to trigger, monitor, or manage Terraform Cloud infrastructure runs as part of a GitOps or DevOps automation workflow.
Avoid When
Your team doesn't use Terraform Cloud/Enterprise, or you need direct cloud API access.
Use Cases
- • Triggering infrastructure deployments from agent-orchestrated CI/CD pipelines
- • Managing Terraform workspace variables and configurations programmatically
- • Monitoring run status and extracting plan/apply outputs for audit agents
- • Creating and managing workspaces for dynamic environment provisioning
- • Policy enforcement and run approval workflows via API
Not For
- • Direct infrastructure provisioning (Terraform handles that — this is for managing Terraform itself)
- • Multi-cloud resource management without Terraform knowledge
- • Real-time infrastructure monitoring (use Datadog/Grafana instead)
- • Simple deployments that don't need full IaC orchestration
