What create_work_slot does on Huly
AI agents use create_work_slot 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_work_slot is rated Medium
This tool creates and attaches new scheduling data (work slots and time blocks) to existing tasks/todos, which is a write operation that modifies project state reversibly. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. While it affects project planning, the blast radius is contained to scheduling metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a scheduled work slot' and 'Attaches a time block to a ToDo' — both indicate creation and modification of time/scheduling data in the project management system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_work_slot 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_work_slot, this is the rule to start with:
create_work_slot 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_work_slot call is checked against it from then on.
