What delete_project does on Huly
AI agents call delete_project 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_project is rated Critical
This tool irreversibly deletes project data and cannot be reversed. While it doesn't directly destroy individual issues/milestones (they are 'orphaned' rather than deleted), the permanent removal of the project container and loss of its associated structure constitutes a destructive action.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Permanently delete a Huly project' and explicitly notes 'This action cannot be undone.' The description also warns that 'All issues, milestones, and components in this project will be orphaned,' indicating irreversible loss of data…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_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 delete_project, this is the rule to start with:
delete_project 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_project call is checked against it from then on.
