AI agents call get_test_plan to retrieve information from Xray MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about an existing test plan. It performs a read operation that queries data from Xray Test Management without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any mutating language confirm this is a read-only operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_test_plan' and description 'Get detailed information about a test plan including associated tests' indicate retrieval of data with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a test plan including associated tests. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Xray MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Xray MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_test_plan: 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 Xray MCP. Nothing to install.
get_test_plan 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 get_test_plan 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 get_test_plan. 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.
get_test_plan is provided by the Xray MCP server (korfu/mcp-xray). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
