Retrieves AI-RCA (Root Cause Analysis) data for a BrowserStack Automate and App-Automate session and provides insights into test failures.
AI agents call fetchRCA to retrieve information from BrowserStack without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool fetches diagnostic data about existing test sessions to provide analysis and insights. It performs no data modification, deletion, execution of code, or financial operations. The retrieval of analysis data for test failures is a standard read operation with no side effects on the system or test infrastructure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'fetchRCA' and description 'Retrieves AI-RCA (Root Cause Analysis) data' — the verb 'Retrieves' explicitly indicates a read-only operation that queries and returns test failure insights without modifying data.

Retrieves AI-RCA (Root Cause Analysis) data for a BrowserStack Automate and App-Automate session and provides insights into test failures. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BrowserStack MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BrowserStack MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fetchRCA: 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 BrowserStack. Nothing to install.
fetchRCA is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the fetchRCA 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 fetchRCA. 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.
fetchRCA is provided by the BrowserStack MCP server (browserstack/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
