Manage Test Cases from anywhere.

The `list_test_cases` tool pulls every test case in the Zephyr Scale project. It returns keys, names, and current statuses for a Jira project key you provide. You can't rely on manually checking status updates. Use this to build out initial reports or confirm which tests need attention before a big release.

Track Test Runs and Environments.

Need to know where the testing happened? `list_environments` shows all configured test environments, like Staging or Production. The `get_execution` tool pulls deep details for any specific test execution run. This lets you confirm exactly which build version was tested against which environment before approving a deployment.

Scope Down Test Results.

The `list_folders` tool helps narrow your search; it lists all folders for specific types—test case, test cycle, or test plan. You'll also find `get_test_case`, which retrieves the full details of a single Zephyr Scale test case. If you only care about one particular component, you can jump straight to that test case instead of sifting through everything.
