WHAT IT DOES

What create_task_type does on Huly

AI agents use create_task_type 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.

RISK

Why create_task_type is rated Medium

This tool creates and modifies project metadata (task type definitions and workflow configuration) reversibly. It does not irreversibly delete data (not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (not Execute), and does not move money (not Financial).

From the tool's definition create_task_type adds/creates a new task type to a project, as evidenced by 'Add a Huly issue/task type' and 'Creates' implicit in the verb 'create_task_type'.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_task_type 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_task_type, this is the rule to start with:

create_task_type Rate-limited

create_task_type 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.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Huly, apply this rule, and every create_task_type call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about create_task_type

What does the create_task_type tool do? +

Add a Huly issue/task type to a project type idempotently by normalized name. Copies required workflow configuration from an existing template task type unless templateTaskType is supplied. Returns created, IDs, affected task type IDs, and a workspace-level workflow warning. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_task_type? +

Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_task_type: 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.

What risk level is create_task_type? +

create_task_type is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_task_type? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_task_type 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.

How do I block create_task_type completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_task_type. 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.

What MCP server provides create_task_type? +

create_task_type 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.
