What list_spaces does on Huly

AI agents call list_spaces 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.

Why list_spaces needs a policy

Even though list_spaces 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.

Questions about list_spaces

What does the list_spaces tool do? +

List generic Huly spaces across modules. When includeArchived is omitted, includeArchived=${DEFAULT_INCLUDE_ARCHIVED}. Returns raw space id, class, type, privacy, archived, autoJoin, member count, and owner count so module-specific tools can reuse the result. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Huly MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_spaces? +

Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_spaces: 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.

What risk level is list_spaces? +

list_spaces is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_spaces? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_spaces 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.

How do I block list_spaces completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_spaces. 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.

What MCP server provides list_spaces? +

list_spaces 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.
