Resolve a build and return build-level test summary information, saved local log paths, detected failed tests, and result bundle metadata.
AI agents call get_test_results to retrieve information from Xcode Cloud without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing test result data from Xcode Cloud without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational, returning summaries and metadata about completed builds. No side effects are mentioned or implied.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Resolve[s] a build and return[s]' test summary information, log paths, failed tests, and metadata. The verb 'return' and 'get' prefix indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Resolve a build and return build-level test summary information, saved local log paths, detected failed tests, and result bundle metadata. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Xcode Cloud MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Xcode Cloud MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_test_results: 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 Xcode Cloud. Nothing to install.
get_test_results 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 get_test_results 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 get_test_results. 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.
get_test_results is provided by the Xcode Cloud MCP server (thatfactory/xcode-cloud-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
