open_test_result · QIT MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What open_test_result does on QIT MCP Server

AI agents invoke open_test_result to trigger actions in QIT MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why open_test_result needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operation (opening the default web browser) rather than simply reading or returning data. While it also returns a URL, the act of launching a browser process is an Execute-category side effect. The blast radius is low since it only opens a browser tab to view a test report.
