AI agents call testmo_get_folders_recursive to retrieve information from Testmo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries folder hierarchy data without altering, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward read operation that returns nested tree information from Testmo's test management system.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get a folder and all descendant subfolders as a nested tree in a single call' — purely retrieves hierarchical folder structure with no modification, deletion, or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a folder and all descendant subfolders as a nested tree in a single call. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Testmo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Testmo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for testmo_get_folders_recursive: 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 Testmo. Nothing to install.
testmo_get_folders_recursive is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the testmo_get_folders_recursive rule in your PolicyLayer 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for testmo_get_folders_recursive. 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.
testmo_get_folders_recursive is provided by the Testmo MCP server (strelec00/testmo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
