    The task is defined using shorthand syntax. The same result could be achieved by using the regular syntax and delegate_to parameter, like this:

    - name: Find geographical region of this server
  uri:
    url: http://locator/studio/{{ ansible_default_ipv4.address}}
    method: GET
    return_content: yes
  register: locator_output
  delegate_to: localhost

  2. The solution is to use module parameter with the original action name:

      - name: Find geographical region of this server
    local_action:
      module: uri
      url: http://locator/studio/{{ ansible_default_ipv4.address}}
      method: GET
      return_content: yes
    register: locator_output
