What get_space_type does on Huly
AI agents call get_space_type to retrieve information from Huly without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_space_type is rated Low
This tool queries and returns information about a SpaceType object—its metadata, role definitions, and permission structures. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of commands. The action is purely informational retrieval, characteristic of Read category tools. No blast radius from misuse beyond exposure of configuration/permission data.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get one Huly SpaceType' with retrieval of metadata, role definitions, permissions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_space_type 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 get_space_type, this is the rule to start with:
get_space_type is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 get_space_type call is checked against it from then on.
