Get test plans for a project
AI agents call get_plans to retrieve information from TestRail MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing test plans from a TestRail project. The verb 'get' and absence of any language suggesting creation, modification, or deletion clearly indicate a read-only operation. There is no data mutation, execution of external operations, financial impact, or destructive capability.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_plans' and description 'Get test plans for a project' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
