Questions about qmetry_fetch_test_case_details
Get detailed information for a specific QMetry test case by numeric ID - USE THIS for single test case lookup Parameters: - projectKey (string): Project key - unique identifier for the project (default: "default") - baseUrl (string): The base URL for the QMetry instance (must be a valid URL) (default: "https://testmanagement.qmetry.com") - tcID (number) *required*: Test Case numeric ID. This is the internal numeric identifier, not the entity key like 'MAC-TC-1684'. You can get this ID from test case search results or by using filters. - start (number): Start index for pagination - defaults to 0 (default: 0) - page (number): Page number to return (starts from 1) (default: 1) - limit (number): Number of records (default 10). (default: 10) Output Description: JSON object with test case details including ID, key, summary, description, and metadata Use Cases: 1. Get test case details by numeric ID (PREFERRED for single test case) 2. Fetch test case when user provides entityKey (e.g., 'VKMCP-TC-5') 3. Retrieve test case metadata for a specific test case 4. Get test case summary and properties for display or editing 5. Fetch test case details before accessing steps or version details 6. Lookup test case by name or ID without affecting UI filters Examples: 1. Get test case details by numeric ID json { "tcID": 4468020 } Expected Output: Detailed test case information including summary, description, status Hints: 1. USE THIS TOOL when user asks to 'fetch test case VKMCP-TC-5' or 'get test case by ID' or 'find test case X' 2. This API requires a numeric tcID parameter 3. CRITICAL: If user provides entityKey (e.g., MAC-TC-1684), you have TWO options: 4. Option 1 (RECOMMENDED): Ask user for the numeric test case ID 5. Option 2: If you must resolve entityKey, use FETCH_TEST_CASES with filter ONLY ONCE, then immediately use this tool 6. After resolving entityKey → tcID, always use THIS tool (FETCH_TEST_CASE_DETAILS) for subsequent lookups 7. This tool provides metadata and properties; use FETCH_TEST_CASE_STEPS for step-level details 8. This tool does NOT persist filters in UI - safe for single test case lookups 9. ALWAYS prefer this tool over FETCH_TEST_CASES with filters for single test case operations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SmartBear MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
