What update_test_run does on Huly
AI agents use update_test_run 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.
Why update_test_run is rated Medium
The tool modifies test run records, which is a write operation. It's not destructive (no deletion), not financial, and not execute (no code execution or external operations triggered). The severity is medium because incorrect updates to test runs in a project management system could corrupt test data and mislead teams about software quality, but changes are typically reversible through subsequent updates.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_test_run' and description 'Update a test run' indicate modification of existing test run data in a reversible manner.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs update_test_run 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_run, this is the rule to start with:
update_test_run 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Huly, apply this rule, and every update_test_run call is checked against it from then on.
