What get_configs does on TestRail MCP Server

Why get_configs needs a policy

This tool retrieves configuration data from a TestRail project. The verb 'get' and the absence of any language indicating modification, creation, or destruction clearly places this in the Read category. The severity is low because retrieving configuration metadata poses minimal risk—it does not expose sensitive test data, does not execute operations, and does not modify state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_configs' and description 'Get all configurations for a project' indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification, deletion, or side effects.
