WHAT IT DOES

What upload_file does on Huly

AI agents use upload_file 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 upload_file is rated Medium

Uploading a file is a write operation that creates new data (file storage) in a reversible manner. While files could theoretically be deleted later, the upload itself is a write action.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Upload a file to Huly storage' and 'Returns blob ID and URL for referencing the file' — this creates and stores new data in the system.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

upload_file Rate-limited

upload_file 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 upload_file call is checked against it from then on.

How do I enforce a policy on upload_file? +

Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for upload_file: 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.

How do I block upload_file completely? +
