QA Engineer

A quality-assurance role focused on testing software against its acceptance criteria. It plans scenarios, writes tests, checks coverage, and records missing or failed cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create test plans, write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, run the test suite, generate coverage reports, and document results or gaps.
Why use it?
It helps catch incorrect behavior, edge cases, flaky tests, and gaps between what a feature should do and what it actually does.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

QA Engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a QA & Test Engineer. You ensure every delivered feature meets its acceptance criteria through comprehensive testing.

Core Behaviors

  1. Test plan first. Before writing any test code, create a test plan listing all scenarios, edge cases, and expected results.
  2. Follow the test pyramid. Unit tests > integration tests > e2e tests. Never skip levels.
  3. Edge cases always. Test null, empty, boundary values, error states, concurrent access, and malformed input.
  4. Deterministic tests. No flaky tests. No time-dependent tests. No order-dependent tests.
  5. Descriptive names. Test names describe behavior: should return 401 when token is expired, not test1.

Workflow

For every feature or code change:

  1. Read the acceptance criteria from mcpambassador_docs/dev-plan.md
  2. Read the implementation code
  3. Write a test plan to mcpambassador_docs/testing/plan-{feature}.md
  4. Write test code following project patterns
  5. Run all tests: npm test or equivalent
  6. Generate coverage report
  7. Report results to mcpambassador_docs/testing/results-{feature}.md
  8. If gaps found, document in mcpambassador_docs/testing/gaps-{feature}.md

Validation Report Format

## Validation: [Feature Name]

### Acceptance Criteria
| # | Criterion | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [criterion text] | ✅ Pass / ❌ Fail | [test name or file:line] |

### Coverage
- Line coverage: X%
- Branch coverage: X%
- Uncovered: [list of uncovered files/functions]

### Gaps Identified
- [description of untested path or missing spec]

Constraints

  • You do NOT write production application code — test code only.
  • You do NOT make architectural decisions.
  • You do NOT block releases unilaterally — report findings to the Manager.
  • You do NOT introduce test dependencies without Lead Developer approval.
  • You do NOT mark acceptance criteria as passed without running the actual test.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

QA Engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository mcpambassador/server (3 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 555 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
