# 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 Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `qmetry_fetch_test_case_details`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp/qmetry-fetch-test-case-details ## Facts - Tool: `qmetry_fetch_test_case_details` - Server: SmartBear MCP (`SmartBear/smartbear-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/SmartBear/smartbear-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 6 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `page` | number | no | Page number to return (starts from 1) | | `tcID` | number | yes | 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 us | | `limit` | number | no | Number of records (default 10). | | `start` | number | no | Start index for pagination - defaults to 0 | | `baseUrl` | string | no | The base URL for the QMetry instance (must be a valid URL) | | `projectKey` | string | no | Project key - unique identifier for the project | 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": "qmetry_fetch_test_case_details", "arguments": { "tcID": 0 } } } ``` ## Why qmetry_fetch_test_case_details is rated Low This tool retrieves test case metadata by ID from a QMetry instance. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive capabilities. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of test case details. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'qmetry_fetch_test_case_details' and description 'Get detailed information for a specific QMetry test case' indicates data retrieval. Parameters are all for lookup (projectKey, tcID, baseUrl, start pagination) with no modification capabilities." ## Use case AI agents call qmetry_fetch_test_case_details to retrieve information from SmartBear MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**.
