What delete_component does on Huly
AI agents call delete_component to permanently remove resources in Huly, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_component is rated Critical
The tool permanently and irreversibly deletes a component from the Huly project management system. This matches the Destructive category definition: actions that cannot be undone. Severity is high because deletion of project components could impact multiple dependent items (tasks, issues, relations) and the action cannot be reversed. Confidence is high due to explicit language in the description.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Permanently delete' and 'This action cannot be undone,' indicating irreversible data deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_component 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 delete_component, this is the rule to start with:
delete_component is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Huly, apply this rule, and every delete_component call is checked against it from then on.
