Get specific TestRail project by ID
AI agents call get_project 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.
This tool retrieves project metadata from TestRail by ID. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no ability to trigger external actions or delete data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could enumerate or exfiltrate project information, but cannot alter test data, trigger test runs, or cause destructive changes. This is a classic Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project' and description 'Get specific TestRail project by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or destructive capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get specific TestRail project by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TestRail MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TestRail MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_project: 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 TestRail MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_project 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 get_project 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 get_project. 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.
get_project is provided by the TestRail MCP Server MCP server (samuelvinay91/testrail-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
