Get case templates for project
AI agents call get_templates 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 queries and retrieves existing case templates from a project in TestRail. It performs a read-only operation—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The verb 'Get' and the lack of any destructive, financial, or execution implications clearly place this in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_templates' and description 'Get case templates for project' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
