THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_cases needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves test case data from a Qase project without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk—misuse would only expose existing test case information.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cases' and description 'Get all test cases in a project' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_cases

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 get_cases:

policy.json

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

get_cases 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 QASE MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
