Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_project 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_project, this is the rule to start with:
create_project 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_project call is checked against it from then on.

Identifier must be 1-5 uppercase alphanumeric chars starting with a letter. 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 create_project: 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.
create_project 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 create_project 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 create_project. 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.
create_project 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.
