# start_process Start a new Process execution against a card. Resolves the process by ID or display name and creates an active Execution at the first workflow state (lowest rank). The Huly server Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `start_process`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/dugynoo-huly-mcp/start-process ## Facts - Tool: `start_process` - Server: Huly (`dugynoo/huly-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/dugynoo-huly-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/dugynoo/huly-mcp - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "start_process", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why start_process is rated High This tool executes a workflow process against a card, initiating a series of automated operations whose side effects are determined by the process definition and card state. While not immediately destructive, it represents a trigger for external automation that could have significant downstream consequences (notifications, state changes, further automations). From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'start_process' and description states it 'Start a new Process execution' and 'creates an active Execution' — this triggers external workflow operations whose effects depend on which process is invoked and the card context." ## Use case AI agents invoke start_process 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
