WHAT IT DOES

What zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link does on SmartBear MCP

AI agents use zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	—	The web link URL
`description`	string	—	The web link description
`testCycleIdOrKey`	string	Yes	The ID or key of the test cycle.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (web links) in a test management system, which is a reversible write operation. The blast radius is medium because malicious actors could create misleading or fraudulent links associated with test cycles, potentially misdirecting teams or injecting malicious URLs into test documentation, but this does not involve deletion, code execution, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name indicates 'create' action; description states 'Create a new Web Link for a Test Cycle'; examples show creating new resources with testCycleIdOrKey, url, and description parameters that result in 'newly created Web Link with its ID'.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link Rate-limited

zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link 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 zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link

What does the zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link tool do? +

Create a new Web Link for a Test Cycle in Zephyr Examples: 1. Create a link between the specified test cycle by Id '100001' and generic URL 'https://www.atlassian.com' with description 'Atlassian homepage' json { "testCycleIdOrKey": "100001", "url": "https://www.atlassian.com", "description": "Atlassian homepage" } Expected Output: The newly created Web Link with its ID and self link 2. Create a web link for test cycle 'SA-R15' pointing to url: 'https://atlassian.com' with description 'Atlassian homepage' json { "testCycleIdOrKey": "SA-R15", "url": "https://atlassian.com", "description": "Documentation for pump specifications" } Expected Output: The newly created Web Link with its ID and self link 3. Attach a documentation link 'https://docs.atlassian.com' to test cycle MM2-R15 for pump specifications json { "testCycleIdOrKey": "10001", "url": "https://docs.atlassian.com", "description": "Documentation for pump specifications" } Expected Output: The newly created Web Link with its ID and self link. 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 zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link accept? +

zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link accepts 3 parameters: url, description, testCycleIdOrKey. Required: testCycleIdOrKey. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link? +

Register the SmartBear MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches SmartBear MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is zephyr_create_test_cycle_web_link? +
