AI agents call testplan_get_test_cases 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 test cases from a test plan using pagination. The verb 'get' and the absence of any modification, deletion, execution, or financial language clearly indicate a read-only operation. There is no risk of data destruction, code execution, or state changes. Severity is low because unauthorized access to test cases poses minimal blast radius compared to destructive or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'testplan_get_test_cases' and description 'Get test cases from a test plan with pagination' indicate a retrieval operation without modification or side effects.
