What create_board_label does on Huly
AI agents use create_board_label 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 create_board_label is rated Medium
The tool creates or registers a label definition, which is a reversible data modification (labels can be deleted or edited later). It does not delete, execute code, move money, or trigger external operations with side effects. The idempotent behavior (reusing existing labels by title match) further confirms it is a safe write operation with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Create a board label definition" — explicit create operation that modifies board configuration by adding a new label.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_board_label 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 create_board_label, this is the rule to start with:
create_board_label 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 create_board_label call is checked against it from then on.

Create a board label definition for board cards. Idempotent by exact title when one label matches; uses board.category.Other when no default category exists. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Huly MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_board_label: 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.
create_board_label is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_board_label 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 create_board_label. 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.
create_board_label 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.
