AI agents call get_case_steps to retrieve information from Tuskr without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns test case step data without modifying, executing, or deleting any information. It is a straightforward read operation consistent with other Read-category tools like 'get_test_case' and 'get_sections_tree' on the same server. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—only data retrieval occurs.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_case_steps' and description 'Get normalized ordered steps for one case' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get normalized ordered steps for one case. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tuskr MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tuskr MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_case_steps: 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 Tuskr. Nothing to install.
get_case_steps 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_case_steps 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_case_steps. 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_case_steps is provided by the Tuskr MCP server (zapkid/tuskr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
