What create_plan does on QASE MCP Server

AI agents use create_plan to create or update resources in QASE MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your QASE MCP Server environment.

Why create_plan needs a policy

This tool creates (writes) new data to the system in a reversible manner. Creating a test plan adds a new resource but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move funds, or produce irreversible changes. The action can be undone by deleting the plan. Classified as Write rather than Execute because it is a standard data creation operation without code execution or external side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_plan' and description 'Create a new test plan' indicate a create operation that modifies data in the Qase test management platform by adding a new test plan resource.

How to control create_plan

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_plan": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_plan_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_plan stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register QASE MCP Server — 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.
