# reflect_add_segment Insert a reusable test segment into an active Reflect recording session Parameters: - sessionId (string) *required*: The ID of the Reflect recording session - segmentId (number) *required*: The ID of the segment to add Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `reflect_add_segment`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp/reflect-add-segment ## Facts - Tool: `reflect_add_segment` - Server: SmartBear MCP (`SmartBear/smartbear-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/SmartBear/smartbear-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 2 (2 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `segmentId` | number | yes | The ID of the segment to add | | `sessionId` | string | yes | The ID of the Reflect recording session | 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": "reflect_add_segment", "arguments": { "segmentId": 0, "sessionId": "" } } } ``` ## Why reflect_add_segment is rated Medium This tool creates/adds a test segment to a recording session, which is a reversible modification of data. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While it modifies an active session (which could affect testing workflows if misused), the operation is reversible by removing the segment. From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it will 'Insert a reusable test segment into an active Reflect recording session.' The verb 'Insert' combined with modifying an active recording session indicates a write operation that creates or adds data to an existing resource." ## Use case AI agents use reflect_add_segment to create or update resources in SmartBear MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SmartBear MCP environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
