3## How to Validate Policies

5### 1. Get Subscription ID
6 
7Retrieve your current Azure subscription ID:
8 
9```bash
10az account show --query id -o tsv
11```
12 
13### 2. Validate Policies
14 
15Call the Azure MCP Policy tool to retrieve policies for your subscription:
16 
17```
18mcp_azure_mcp_policy(command: "list", parameters: { subscription_id: "<subscription-id>" })
19```
20 
21Replace `<subscription-id>` with the actual subscription ID obtained from step 1.
22 
23## Review Policy Compliance
24 
25When validating Azure policies for your subscription:
26 
27- **Check for policy violations** — Identify any resources or configurations that don't comply with assigned policies
28- **Verify organizational compliance** — Ensure the planned deployment meets all organizational policy requirements
29- **Address policy conflicts** — Resolve any policy issues before proceeding to deployment
30 
31## Common Policy Issues
32 
33| Issue | Resolution |
34|-------|------------|
35| Non-compliant resource SKUs | Update resource SKUs to comply with allowed values |
36| Missing required tags | Add required tags to resources in your infrastructure code |
37| Disallowed resource types | Replace with allowed alternatives or request policy exception |
38| Location restrictions | Deploy to allowed regions only |
39| Network security violations | Update NSG rules, firewall settings, or virtual network configurations |
40 
41## Next Steps

43Only proceed to deployment after all policy violations are resolved and compliance is confirmed.
