postTestRecords

Creates Test Record executions in a Polarion Test Run iteration from supplied test case references and result data; use dry_run to validate and preview the request before creating records.

Instructions

Creates Test Record executions in a Test Run iteration from the supplied case references and result data. Use getTestRecords to inspect executions or postTestStepResults to add step-level outcomes. Effect: creates a new resource. Repeating this call may create additional resources; it is not guaranteed idempotent. Tip: set dry_run: true first to validate the arguments and preview the exact request without sending it to Polarion. The executor returns this preview as normal text, and as structured content when the tool declares an output schema.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dry_runNoIf true, validates the request and returns the exact request that would be sent to Polarion — with the Authorization header redacted and any binary payload summarized by byte length — without actually sending it.
projectIdYesThe Polarion project ID (its URL segment, e.g. `myproject`), case-sensitive. Required to scope the request to one project. If the ID is unknown, ask the user; getProjects lists IDs only with global read access.
testRunIdYesThe Test Run's ID within its project.
requestBodyYesThe Test Record(s) body.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false and idempotent=false, but the description adds context beyond those flags: it spells out that repeating the call may create additional resources and explains the dry_run preview flow, including how the executor surfaces the preview (text and structured content). It does not discuss permissions or what happens to partially supplied data, keeping it below a 5.

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?

Front-loads the core action in the first sentence, then alternatives, effect, and the dry_run tip in a logical order. The final sentence about executor preview is slightly verbose but still earns its place by clarifying dry_run output.

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?

For a complex nested-body write tool with an output schema, the description covers purpose, effect, non-idempotence, sibling alternatives, and the dry_run safety path. Remaining details (permissions, error behavior) are minor given rich schema and output coverage.

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 coverage is 100%, so projectId, testRunId, requestBody, and dry_run are all documented in the schema. The description reinforces the meaning of case references and result data and highlights dry_run semantics, but adds little syntax or format detail beyond what the schema provides.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Creates Test Record executions in a Test Run iteration from the supplied case references and result data.' This distinguishes it clearly from siblings like postTestStepResults and getTestRecords, which are named explicitly.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly routes the agent: use `getTestRecords` to inspect executions, `postTestStepResults` for step-level outcomes, and this tool for creating executions. Adds a concrete ordering recommendation (dry_run first) that tells the agent how to sequence calls safely.

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