reflect_add_prompt_step

Single-target operation

Part of the SmartBear MCP MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use reflect_add_prompt_step to create or modify resources in SmartBear MCP. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON REFLECT_ADD_PROMPT_STEP

Without a policy, an AI agent could call reflect_add_prompt_step repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach SmartBear MCP.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the reflect_add_prompt_step tool do? +

Add a natural language prompt step to an active Reflect recording session **Parameters:** - sessionId (string) *required*: The ID of the Reflect recording session - prompt (string) *required*: The natural language prompt describing the test step. The prompt should describe a single action, assertion, or query. The prompt can only contain literal text; it cannot contain template variables, secrets, or other dynamic syntax. If we are in a Web recording, the prompt can perform browser navigation (e.g. "Click on the back button", "Navigate to https://www.example.com") and use the tab and enter keys to navigate (e.g. "Press the tab key", "Press the enter key").. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on reflect_add_prompt_step? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for reflect_add_prompt_step. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the SmartBear MCP MCP server.

What risk level is reflect_add_prompt_step? +

reflect_add_prompt_step is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit reflect_add_prompt_step? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reflect_add_prompt_step rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block reflect_add_prompt_step completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for reflect_add_prompt_step. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides reflect_add_prompt_step? +

reflect_add_prompt_step is provided by the SmartBear MCP MCP server (@smartbear/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
