What list_issues does on Huly
AI agents call list_issues 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 list_issues is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries existing issue data with optional filtering parameters. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The supported filters (project, status, assignee, creator, component, label, milestone) are all read-only query parameters. This is a classic Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_issues' and description states 'Query Huly issues with optional filters. Returns issues sorted by modification date'. The verb 'Query' and 'Returns' indicate data retrieval with no modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_issues 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 list_issues, this is the rule to start with:
list_issues 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 list_issues call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_issues
Query Huly issues with optional filters. Returns issues sorted by modification date (newest first). Supports filtering by project, exact workflow status name (status), Huly SDK task.statusCategory key (statusCategory: ${enumValuesDescription( StatusCategoryValues )}), assignee, creator (raw Person ID, exact email, or exact display name), component, a human-readable attached label title (label, exact and case-insensitive), milestone (project-scoped ID or exact case-insensitive label), milestone presence (hasMilestone), parentIssue (to list children of a specific issue), and isTopLevel (to return only native top-level issues). Creator, label, and milestone filters are applied before the result limit; ambiguous creator display names fail actionably and unknown creators return an empty list. Each result includes creator as a stable Person reference { id, name?, email? } when resolvable and the assigned milestone as { id, label } when resolvable. Supports searching by title substring (titleSearch) and description content (descriptionSearch). Each result includes deterministic label summaries with title and available color; missing labels are an empty array, duplicate titles collapse case-insensitively while preferring a valid color, and unusable partial attachments are omitted with a tool warning. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Huly MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_issues: 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.
list_issues is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_issues 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 list_issues. 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.
list_issues 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.
