# Tosca Explaining Testcase

> Explains what a Tosca Cloud test case does in plain language by reading its structure from inventory and Builder. Use when the user asks what a test case covers, how it works, or wants a walkthrough. Read-only. Does NOT cover execution failure diagnosis (use tosca-analyzing-execution-results).

# Explain Tosca Cloud test case

Produce a plain-language summary of a test case's purpose and steps. **Read-only.**

**Prerequisite:** `tosca-cloud-basics`.

## Session checklist

```text
Explain Cloud test case:
- [ ] Resolve test case (inventory search)
- [ ] Read structure via Builder/inventory APIs
- [ ] Summarize purpose, preconditions, steps, verifications
- [ ] Present structured walkthrough
```

## Fast path

1. **Resolve test case** — `tosca_inventory_search(artifactType: testCase, artifactName)`.
2. **Read structure** — inventory metadata; `getModulesSummary` / `getApiMessage` where applicable. See [references/read-path.md](references/read-path.md) for interim path and MCP gaps.
3. **Summarize** — purpose, preconditions, step flow, key verifications. State confidence when step detail is inferred.
4. **Report** — structured walkthrough for the user.

## Output template

```
## <Test case name>
**Purpose:** <one sentence>
**Preconditions:** <list>
**Steps:**
1. <action> — <expected>
2. ...
**Key verifications:** <list>
```

Read-only — do not mutate unless user asks to remediate.
