AI agents call list_test_cases to retrieve information from TestCollab MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though list_test_cases only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

List test cases from a TestCollab project with optional filtering, sorting, and pagination. Tip: Call get_project_context first to resolve suite/tag/custom field names to IDs. Note: list_test_cases may omit full step details; use get_test_case for a complete test case with steps. Filter fields include: - id, title, description, steps, priority (0=Low, 1=Normal, 2=High) - suite (ID or title), created_by, reviewer, poster (user IDs) - created_at, updated_at, last_run_on (dates) - tags, requirements (arrays of IDs or names) - under_review, is_automated (0 or 1) - run_count, avg_execution_time, failure_rate Filter types: - text: equals, notEqual, contains, notContains, startsWith, endsWith, isBlank - number: equals, notEqual, greaterThan, greaterThanOrEqual, lessThan, lessThanOrEqual, inRange - date: equals, notEqual, greaterThan, lessThan, inRange Example filter: {. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TestCollab MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TestCollab MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_test_cases: 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 TestCollab MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_test_cases 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 list_test_cases 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 list_test_cases. 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.
list_test_cases is provided by the TestCollab MCP Server MCP server (tcsoftinc/testcollab-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
