update_workspace

Modify Terraform Cloud workspace settings like execution mode, VCS repository, description, or configuration options. Only specified attributes are updated while others remain unchanged.

Instructions

Update an existing workspace.

Modifies the settings of a Terraform Cloud workspace. This can be used to change attributes like execution mode, VCS repository settings, description, or any other workspace configuration options. Only specified attributes will be updated; unspecified attributes remain unchanged.

API endpoint: PATCH /organizations/{organization}/workspaces/{workspace_name}

Args: organization: The name of the organization that owns the workspace workspace_name: The name of the workspace to update

params: Workspace parameters to update (optional): - name: New name for the workspace (if renaming) - description: Human-readable description of the workspace - execution_mode: How Terraform runs are executed (remote, local, agent) - terraform_version: Version of Terraform to use - working_directory: Subdirectory to use when running Terraform - vcs_repo: Version control repository configuration (oauth-token-id, identifier) - auto_apply: Whether to automatically apply successful plans - file_triggers_enabled: Whether file changes trigger runs - trigger_prefixes: Directories that trigger runs when changed - trigger_patterns: Glob patterns that trigger runs when files match - allow_destroy_plan: Whether to allow destruction plans - auto_apply_run_trigger: Whether to auto-apply changes from run triggers

Returns: The updated workspace with all current settings and configuration

See: docs/tools/workspace.md for reference documentation

Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the tool logic: accepts organization, workspace_name, and optional WorkspaceParams; builds WorkspaceUpdateRequest; creates API payload excluding routing fields; logs and sends PATCH request to Terraform Cloud API; returns the updated workspace response.
