What qa_plan does on Mk Qa Master

AI agents use qa_plan to create or update resources in Mk Qa Master — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mk Qa Master environment.

Medium Risk

Why qa_plan needs a policy

The tool stores/persists a checklist (QA plan), which is a write operation creating or modifying data. It does not execute tests, delete data, or involve financial operations. Severity is medium since a misconfigured QA plan could misdirect subsequent test execution across the QA loop, but the tool itself only stores data.

How to control qa_plan

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mk Qa Master, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for qa_plan:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "qa_plan": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "qa_plan_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

qa_plan stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mk Qa Master — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
