What create_channel does on Huly
AI agents use create_channel 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_channel is rated Medium
Creating a channel is a reversible write operation that adds a new resource to the system. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or commit financial transactions. The primary risk is that an agent could spam channel creation or create channels in an unintended organizational context, but the action can be undone by deleting the channel.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_channel' and description 'Create a new channel in Huly. Returns the created channel ID and name.' indicate irreversible creation of a new communication/collaboration resource.

The rule that runs create_channel 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_channel, this is the rule to start with:
create_channel 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_channel call is checked against it from then on.
