What download_attachment does on Huly
AI agents call download_attachment to retrieve information from Huly without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why download_attachment is rated Low
This is a straightforward read operation that retrieves metadata and a download URL. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The worst-case misuse by an AI agent would be accessing attachments it shouldn't, which is a confidentiality concern but not a blast-radius risk compared to write, execute, or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Get download URL for an attachment along with file metadata' — retrieves data without modifying or deleting anything. No side effects beyond data retrieval.

download_attachment is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
