MCP Tool Reference Low Risk

listTestRuns

List test runs for a project

Part of the BrowserStack MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call listTestRuns to retrieve information from BrowserStack without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions — but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON LISTTESTRUNS

Even though listTestRuns only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

browserstack.yaml
tools:
  listTestRuns:
    rules:
      - action: allow

How do I enforce a policy on listTestRuns?

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for listTestRuns. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the BrowserStack MCP server.

What risk level is listTestRuns?

listTestRuns is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit listTestRuns?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the listTestRuns rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block listTestRuns completely?

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for listTestRuns. 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.

What MCP server provides listTestRuns?
