AI agents use upload_recording to create or modify resources in Keploy. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call upload_recording repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Keploy.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access upload_recording gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so upload_recording only ever does what you allow.

What does the upload_recording tool do? +

Atomic test set + cases + mocks + mappings ingest. Creates the test set row, every test case, every mock, and the mapping doc in one call. PREFER THE CLI FOR ON-DISK RECORDINGS. When the dev has a recorded test-set on disk (e.g. ./keploy/test-set-0/ produced by keploy record), invoke this via Bash instead — it streams bytes from disk to server in one HTTP round-trip: keploy upload test-set \ --app <namespace.deployment> # or --cloud-app-id <uuid> --branch <uuid|name> # optional, find-or-create on name --test-set <path|name> # e.g. keploy/test-set-0 [--name <override>] # rename on the server The CLI path runs in ~3 seconds for a typical recording; calling this MCP tool directly with the same bundle inlined as args takes minutes because Claude has to serialize ~10K+ tokens of YAML/JSON through tool_use. Reserve this MCP tool for cases where the data is already in conversation context (e.g. you just generated test cases programmatically and don't want to round-trip to disk). Each step is its own DB write; partial failure leaves earlier rows in place — callers can replay safely. branch_id is REQUIRED — direct writes to main via MCP are blocked. Every row lands on the branch overlay until merge. test_cases[].mock_names lists the mocks each case consumes; the server folds these into the mapping doc on upload. Returns { test_set, test_case_ids, mock_ids }.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Keploy MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on upload_recording? +

Register the Keploy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for upload_recording: 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 Keploy. Nothing to install.

What risk level is upload_recording? +

upload_recording is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit upload_recording? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the upload_recording 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.

How do I block upload_recording completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for upload_recording. 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 upload_recording? +

upload_recording is provided by the Keploy MCP server (https://api.keploy.io/client/v1/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Keploy tool call.
