Is there any way from the target machine to run it’s playbook(s) in --check mode and display output on the target machine? I’m hoping for something smoother than ssh’ing to the control machine, running intended playbook(s), outputting to a file and rsync’ing it back to the target. The goal is to script it so that application owners can check if their “stuff” is compliant from the target machine itself.

A host does not have any knowledge of Ansible and playbooks unless you install Ansible on them.

The alternative is to install Ansible on all host so you can run Ansible locally.
