TestRail MCP Server

by bun913

addBdd

Upload a Gherkin .feature file to create a BDD test case in a specified TestRail section, populating the custom BDD scenario field with Given/When/Then steps.

Instructions

Imports/uploads a .feature file (Gherkin BDD scenario) into a TestRail section. Creates a new test case with BDD template (template_id=4) and populates the custom_testrail_bdd_scenario field. REQUIRED: sectionId, featureContent (raw Gherkin text including Feature:, Scenario:, Given/When/Then).

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. Discloses that it uses a specific template (template_id=4) and populates custom_testrail_bdd_scenario field. Could mention return value or side effects, but covers key mutation behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences, highly concise, no extraneous information. Front-loaded with verb and resource, then adds specifics.

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?

Given low complexity (2 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers inputs and behavior adequately. Minor omission: no mention of return value (e.g., new case ID), but not essential due to simplicity.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema covers both parameters with descriptions. The description adds meaning beyond schema by specifying featureContent must be raw Gherkin including Feature:, Scenario:, Given/When/Then, which is crucial for correct usage.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Specifically describes the action: imports a .feature file into a TestRail section, creates a new test case with BDD template (template_id=4) and populates a specific field. Clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like addCase (generic case creation) and addSection.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

States required parameters (sectionId, featureContent) and the format of featureContent. While it doesn't explicitly mention when not to use or name alternatives, the context makes it clear this is for BDD imports only.

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