What add_document_attachment does on Huly
AI agents use add_document_attachment to create or update resources in Huly, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Huly environment.
Why add_document_attachment is rated Medium
This tool creates new attachment data and modifies a document by adding content to it. These are reversible operations (attachments can typically be removed), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because while file uploads could introduce malicious content or consume storage, the blast radius is limited to a single document and the action is reversible.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add_document_attachment' and description states 'Add an attachment to a Huly document,' indicating it creates/modifies data by attaching files to an existing document. The tool accepts file inputs (filePath, fileUrl, or data) and persists them.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_document_attachment safely

add_document_attachment stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Huly, apply this rule, and every add_document_attachment call is checked against it from then on.
