THE RISK

Low Risk

Why azure_devops_test_suites needs a policy

The tool performs a read-only query to list test suites associated with a test plan. It retrieves existing data without side effects, altering state, or triggering external operations. This is a classic Read category operation. Severity is low because listing test metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'azure_devops_test_suites' and description 'List all test suites for a test plan' indicate a pure retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands.

POLICY

How to control azure_devops_test_suites

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "azure_devops_test_suites": {}
  }
}

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

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