List test runs for a project
AI agents call list-test-runs to retrieve information from QA Studio MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a retrieval operation that queries test run information from the QA Studio platform. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The action is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity since unauthorized access to test metadata poses minimal risk compared to data modification or destruction.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-test-runs' and description 'List test runs for a project' indicate querying/retrieving existing test run data without modification, creation, or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List test runs for a project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the QA Studio MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the QA Studio MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-test-runs: 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 QA Studio MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list-test-runs 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 list-test-runs 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 list-test-runs. 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.
list-test-runs is provided by the QA Studio MCP Server MCP server (qastudio-dev/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list-test-runs is one line of QA Studio MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
