Parameters: - name (string) *required*: Name of the pacticipant (cannot be changed after creation) - displayName (string): Human-readable display name - mainBranch (string): Name of the main/trunk branch (e.g. 'main') - repositoryName (string): Repository name - repositoryNamespace (string): Repository namespace/organisation - repositoryUrl (string): URL of the source repository Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `contract-testing_create_pacticipant`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp/contract-testing-create-pacticipant ## Facts - Tool: `contract-testing_create_pacticipant` - Server: SmartBear MCP (`SmartBear/smartbear-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/SmartBear/smartbear-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 6 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `name` | string | yes | Name of the pacticipant (cannot be changed after creation) | | `mainBranch` | string | no | Name of the main/trunk branch (e.g. 'main') | | `displayName` | string | no | Human-readable display name | | `repositoryUrl` | string | no | URL of the source repository | | `repositoryName` | string | no | Repository name | | `repositoryNamespace` | string | no | Repository namespace/organisation | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "contract-testing_create_pacticipant", "arguments": { "name": "" } } } ``` ## Why contract-testing_create_pacticipant is rated Medium This tool creates a new pacticipant (application/service) record in PactFlow's workspace. This is a reversible write operation—the created entity can be deleted or modified. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete irreversibly, move money, or trigger external operations based on untrusted input. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Register a new application/service (pacticipant) in the workspace' with required name parameter and optional configuration fields (displayName, mainBranch, repositoryName, etc.)." ## Use case AI agents use contract-testing_create_pacticipant to create or update resources in SmartBear MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SmartBear MCP environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
