This tool retrieves status information about paused test executions. It performs a read-only query operation that lists data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The blast radius is minimal since it only returns information about existing execution states.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_paused_executions' and description 'List all executions waiting for AI DOM analysis' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.

How to control list_paused_executions

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_paused_executions": {}
  }
}

list_paused_executions is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OpenTester — 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.
