What generate_report does on TestRail MCP Server

AI agents call generate_report to retrieve information from TestRail MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why generate_report needs a policy

Generating a report is fundamentally a read/query operation that compiles and presents existing test data. However, some report generators persist or export output, which could involve writing. The description is brief and doesn't clarify whether the report is saved or merely returned, so confidence is moderate. No financial, destructive, or execute semantics are indicated.

From the tool's definition 'Generate comprehensive test report' — report generation implies reading/aggregating data
