WHAT IT DOES

What edit_document does on Huly

AI agents use edit_document 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.

RISK

Why edit_document is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing documents but does not irreversibly delete them (would be Destructive) nor does it execute arbitrary code or trigger external operations (would be Execute). It creates or modifies data reversibly, fitting the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'edit_document' combined with description 'Edit an existing Huly document' indicates modification of data. The description mentions 'Two content modes (mutually exclusive)' suggesting it modifies document content reversibly.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs edit_document 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 edit_document, this is the rule to start with:

edit_document Rate-limited

edit_document 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.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Huly, apply this rule, and every edit_document call is checked against it from then on.
