What run_test_plan does on Huly
AI agents invoke run_test_plan to trigger actions in Huly. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why run_test_plan is rated High
This tool executes test plans, which runs code or automated testing operations with side effects that depend on which test plan is selected and how it's configured. While not destructive (results are reversible), it triggers external test execution operations, making it Execute rather than Write.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Execute[s] a test plan' and 'creates a test run and one test result per plan item', triggering external operations (test execution) whose effects depend on arguments (plan selection, optional run naming, due date setting).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs run_test_plan 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 run_test_plan, this is the rule to start with:
run_test_plan stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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 run_test_plan call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about run_test_plan
Execute a test plan: creates a test run and one test result per plan item. Returns the run ID and count of results created. Optionally name the run and set a due date. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Huly MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for run_test_plan: 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.
run_test_plan is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the run_test_plan 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 run_test_plan. 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.
run_test_plan 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.
