AI agents call get_test_set 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 queries and retrieves information about a test set and its associated tests. It performs a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any changes. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any mutative language confirm this is a Read category tool with low severity since it only exposes test metadata within Xray Test Management.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_test_set' and description 'Get detailed information about a test set including associated tests' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a test set 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_set: 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_set 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_set 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_set. 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_set 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.
