Cancel an active approval Request created by the current Huly user. This is the safe removal-from-workflow operation; hard delete is intentionally not exposed.
AI agents call cancel_approval_request to permanently remove resources in Huly — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
An AI agent that decides to call cancel_approval_request doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Huly is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.

Cancel an active approval Request created by the current Huly user. This is the safe removal-from-workflow operation; hard delete is intentionally not exposed. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Huly MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cancel_approval_request: 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.
cancel_approval_request is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cancel_approval_request rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for cancel_approval_request. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
cancel_approval_request is provided by the Huly MCP server (@firfi/huly-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
