What create_card does on Huly
AI agents use create_card 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 create_card is rated Medium
The tool creates new data (a card) in a project management system in a reversible manner. This is a Write operation—it modifies the system state by adding a new entity but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. Severity is medium because creation of project artifacts could impact team workflows, but the effect is bounded to card creation and reversible via deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Create[s] a new card' and 'Returns the created card id', indicating data creation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_card 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 create_card, this is the rule to start with:
create_card 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 create_card call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_card 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.
