WHAT IT DOES

What update_test_case does on Huly

AI agents use update_test_case 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_test_case is rated Medium

This tool modifies test case data (assignee, status, or other fields) but does not delete or irreversibly destroy data. The ability to set assignee to null shows field-level updates that are reversible. In a project management context, unauthorized test case modifications could impact testing workflows and quality assurance processes, justifying medium severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_test_case' and description 'Update a test case' indicates modification of existing data. Description specifies 'Only provided fields are modified', confirming reversible changes rather than deletion.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

update_test_case Rate-limited

update_test_case 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.
