Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`tcrId`	number	Yes	ID of Testcase Run to link issues with
`baseUrl`	string	—	The base URL for the QMetry instance (must be a valid URL)
`issueIds`	array	Yes	ID of issues to be linked to Testcase Run
`projectKey`	string	—	Project key - unique identifier for the project

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run is rated Medium

This tool creates associations/links between issues and testcase runs in QMetry. It modifies data by establishing relationships, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Link one or more issues to a QMetry Testcase Run (execution)

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run 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 qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run, this is the rule to start with:

qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run Rate-limited

qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run

What does the qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run tool do? +

Link one or more issues to a QMetry Testcase Run (execution). 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") - issueIds (array) *required*: ID of issues to be linked to Testcase Run - tcrId (number) *required*: ID of Testcase Run to link issues with Output Description: JSON object with linkage status and details. Use Cases: 1. Link a single issue to a testcase run 2. Link multiple issues to a testcase run 3. Automate defect association during test execution 4. Maintain traceability between defects and test runs Examples: 1. Link one issue to a testcase run json { "issueIds": [ "5054834" ], "tcrId": 567890 } Expected Output: Issue 5054834 linked to testcase run 567890 successfully. 2. Link multiple issues to a testcase run json { "issueIds": [ "5054834", "5054835" ], "tcrId": 567890 } Expected Output: Issues 5054834, 5054835 linked to testcase run 567890 successfully. Hints: 1. if you have pass issue key (VT-IS-5, MAC-IS-10 etc.) then first fetch issue by issue key to get issue id. 2. To get the issueIds, call the Fetch issues linked with testcases tool and use data[<index>].defectID from the response. 3. To get the tcrId, call the Execution/Fetch Testcase Run ID tool and use data[<index>].tcRunID from the response. 4. Both issueIds and tcrId are required. 5. You can link multiple issues at once by providing an array of IDs. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SmartBear MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run accept? +

qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run accepts 4 parameters: tcrId, baseUrl, issueIds, projectKey. Required: tcrId, issueIds. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on qmetry_link_issues_to_testcase_run? +
