Fetch test result information for test cases in a test run

getTestStatus
Read-onlyIdempotent

Gets test case results, step results, comments and the assignee for all test cases or a specific one in a test run

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
formatNoFormat for rich-text fields (descriptions, preconditions, comments, step & result cells, stepsText & expectedResultText) on both input and output: 'markdown' (default) or 'xml'. Read the matching rich-text format reference resource before producing either. Use 'xml' for BOTH the read and the write whenever you are changing a field that already has content: markdown cannot carry an underline or a text color, so an edit written as markdown writes those away. 'markdown' is for writing new content and for reading you will not edit.
projectYesProject ID (number or string), project key or part of the project name
testRunIdYesThe id of the test run
testCaseIdNoThe id of the test case in the test run to get the status for. If not specified, the status for all test cases in the test run are returned

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
statusYes
testCasesNo
testRunIdYes
testRunIsClosedNo

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds the useful detail of what data classes are returned (results, step results, comments, assignee), but says nothing about ordering, pagination, or limits on large runs.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler, and the return-contents list is informative rather than redundant. It could be marginally tighter, but nothing wasted.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With annotations covering the safety profile and an output schema documenting return values, the description only needs to establish scope and content, which it does. The one gap is behavior for large runs (ordering/pagination), which is a minor omission for a read tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, including a detailed format enum explanation and the effect of omitting testCaseId. The description adds no syntax or format meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb (gets) and resource (test case results, step results, comments, assignee) scoped to a test run, and clarifies it covers all test cases or one. It does not name or contrast any sibling such as setTestResult or listTestCases, so differentiation is left to the reader.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The clause 'for all test cases or a specific one' implies the usage granularity, but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative named (e.g. setTestResult for writing results). Guidance is inferred rather than stated.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
