What record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release does on Adrata
AI agents invoke record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release to trigger actions in Adrata. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release is rated High
record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

The rule that runs record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Adrata, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release, this is the rule to start with:
record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adrata, apply this rule, and every record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release
Durably record why the current QA pass cannot proceed, then safely release the process-private lease without moving the card. Three dispositions, and only one of them flags: - failed_criterion: the criterion is marked UNMET (un-ticked) and a comment records what failed, on which build, and what to check. NO FLAG: the unmet criterion is the finding, the card stays claimable, and a later pass that verifies the criterion again is the fix. This is one governed recovery recipe, not a new bug card and not a QA bounce. - env_problem: your environment or seat was wrong (wrong host, stale build, no Mac runner, shared Chrome profile, expired session). A comment records it and the pass is handed off. NO FLAG and no criterion change: an environment problem is not a card defect. Check the build under test before choosing this. - blocked_dependency: an explicit prerequisite no agent can satisfy. This one flags, as kind external_dependency (a credential, consent or vendor) or owner_decision (only the owner can answer; the owner is notified). Set blocksClaim:true only for those. Every path releases the lease only after the finding is durably recorded; a claimable handoff is not a QA pass.${GOVERNED_NOTE}. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Adrata MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Adrata MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Adrata. Nothing to install.
record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
record_work_item_qa_failure_and_release is provided by the Adrata MCP server (@adrata/adrata-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
