WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use addTestResult to create or modify resources in BrowserStack. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON ADDTESTRESULT

Without a policy, an AI agent could call addTestResult repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach BrowserStack.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

tools:
  addTestResult:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 30
          window: 60

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does the addTestResult tool do?

Add a manual execution result for a test case. It is categorised as a Write tool in the BrowserStack MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on addTestResult?

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for addTestResult. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the BrowserStack MCP server.

What risk level is addTestResult?

addTestResult is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit addTestResult?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the addTestResult rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block addTestResult completely?

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for addTestResult. 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.

What MCP server provides addTestResult?

addTestResult is provided by the BrowserStack MCP server (@browserstack/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
