run_test_cases · Dialogflow CX MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What run_test_cases does on Dialogflow CX MCP Server

AI agents invoke run_test_cases to trigger actions in Dialogflow CX 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 run_test_cases needs a policy

run_test_cases triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Verdict

run_test_cases Rate-limited

run_test_cases stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
