What create_card does on Huly
AI agents use create_card 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_card is rated Medium
This tool creates new data (a card) in a Huly workspace in a reversible manner—cards can typically be deleted. It is not destructive (not purging data), not executing arbitrary code, and not financial. The severity is medium because creating cards could spam or clutter a workspace, but the impact is limited and reversible.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_card 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_card, this is the rule to start with:
create_card 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_card call is checked against it from then on.
