List global Huly message template categories. Categories group reusable message templates across the workspace. Returns category IDs, names, descriptions, archived/private flags, and timestamps.
AI agents call list_message_template_categories to retrieve information from Huly without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though list_message_template_categories only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
