WHAT IT DOES

What update_issue does on Huly

AI agents use update_issue 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 update_issue is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly. It updates issue fields without deleting or destroying data, and the changes can be undone (typical for project management systems). The scope is limited to a single issue's fields. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt project data or workflow states, but effects are reversible and scoped to metadata rather than financial or destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update fields on an existing Huly issue. Only provided fields are modified.' The verb 'update' and the explicit statement that it modifies fields on an existing resource confirm write capability.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

update_issue Rate-limited

update_issue 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.
