What create_test_run does on Huly
AI agents use create_test_run 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_test_run is rated Medium
This tool creates a new test run record in project management software. This is a Write-category operation because it creates new data that can be modified or deleted later. Severity is medium because creating test runs has bounded scope within the project management system and does not delete data, move money, or execute arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_test_run' and description states 'Create a test run in a project', which is a create operation that adds new data to the system reversibly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_test_run 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_test_run, this is the rule to start with:
create_test_run 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_test_run call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_test_run
Create a test run in a project. For bulk creation from a plan, use run_test_plan instead. 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_test_run: 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_test_run 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_test_run 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_test_run. 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_test_run 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.
