TestRail MCP Server

query_run

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a single test run by ID or all test runs for a project with optional filters. Use action 'one' for a specific run or 'many' for all runs.

Instructions

Retrieve a single test run or all test runs for a project in TestRail. Set payload.action to 'one' or 'many' to specify the operation.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint. The description adds the dual-mode behavior ('one' vs 'many'), which is useful context beyond annotations.

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 concise, front-loaded sentences that efficiently convey the tool's purpose and key usage pattern.

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?

The description adequately explains the tool's retrieval purpose and action modes. While no output schema is provided, the annotations cover safety, and filtering details are in the schema.

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%, so parameters are well-documented. The description clarifies the action parameter's role but doesn't add new info beyond schema.

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?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves test runs (single or all) for a project, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like mutate_run.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_cases or get_results. The description implies read-only use but doesn't differentiate within sibling retrieval tools.

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