AI agents call testplan_get to retrieve information from Testops without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves data (a test plan) by identifier. It performs a query with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. It fits the 'Read' category definitively. Severity is low because retrieval of test metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'testplan_get' and description states 'Get a test plan by ID' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a test plan by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Testops MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Testops MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for testplan_get: 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 Testops. Nothing to install.
testplan_get 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 testplan_get 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 testplan_get. 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.
testplan_get is provided by the Testops MCP server (@syn7xx/testops-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
