What add_reaction does on Huly
AI agents use add_reaction 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_reaction is rated Medium
This tool creates a new emoji reaction, which is a reversible modification of data (the reaction can be removed). It has no destructive, financial, or code execution implications. The blast radius is minimal as emoji reactions are cosmetic user interactions. Classified as Write rather than Read because it modifies state by adding a reaction.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_reaction' and description 'Add an emoji reaction to an activity message' indicate creation of a new reaction entry.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_reaction safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Huly, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_reaction, this is the rule to start with:
add_reaction 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_reaction call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about add_reaction
Add an emoji reaction to an activity message. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Huly MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_reaction: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Huly. Nothing to install.
add_reaction is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_reaction rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for add_reaction. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
add_reaction is provided by the Huly MCP server (dugynoo/huly-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
