What delete_document does on Huly
AI agents call delete_document 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.
Why delete_document is rated Critical
The tool performs a destructive operation that irreversibly removes data from the system with no recovery mechanism. This matches the Destructive category definition. Severity is high because accidental or malicious use could result in permanent loss of important documents, though the blast radius is typically limited to individual documents rather than system-wide infrastructure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_document' combined with description stating 'Permanently delete' and 'This action cannot be undone' clearly indicates irreversible deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_document 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 delete_document, this is the rule to start with:
delete_document is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Huly, apply this rule, and every delete_document call is checked against it from then on.
