Why contract-testing_get_branch_versions is rated Low
This tool retrieves versioning information from a contract testing system (PactFlow). It performs a query operation that fetches data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The parameters support simple data retrieval with pagination, confirming it is a Read operation with low severity as misuse would only expose non-sensitive metadata about published versions.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Retrieve all versions' with parameters for pacticipantName, branchName, pageNumber, and pageSize. The verb 'Retrieve' and the read-only parameters (pagination) indicate a query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs contract-testing_get_branch_versions safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and SmartBear MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For contract-testing_get_branch_versions, this is the rule to start with:
contract-testing_get_branch_versions is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect SmartBear MCP, apply this rule, and every contract-testing_get_branch_versions call is checked against it from then on.
