What list_labels does on Huly
AI agents call list_labels 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 list_labels is rated Low
This tool queries and returns existing label/tag definitions without altering any data. It is a read-only operation that retrieves metadata about labels in the workspace. The output is sorted by modification date for convenience, but no side effects occur. Blast radius is minimal — exposure only risks information disclosure of label definitions, which are typically non-sensitive organizational metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_labels' and description 'List label/tag definitions in the workspace' — performs a retrieval operation with no modification, creation, deletion, or execution of external commands.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_labels 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 list_labels, this is the rule to start with:
list_labels is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 list_labels call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_labels
List label/tag definitions in the workspace. Labels are global (not project-scoped). Returns labels for tracker issues sorted by modification date (newest first). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Huly MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_labels: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Huly. Nothing to install.
list_labels is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_labels rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_labels. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_labels is provided by the Huly MCP server (dugynoo/huly-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
