WHAT IT DOES

What move_issue does on Huly

AI agents use move_issue to create or update resources in Huly, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Huly environment.

RISK

Why move_issue is rated Medium

The tool modifies issue hierarchy and sub-issue counts, which are data changes that can be undone (issues can be moved back, parent/child relationships can be restored). This is a Write operation (reversible modification) rather than Destructive (irreversible deletion) or Execute (arbitrary command execution).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Move an issue to a new parent' and 'Updates parent/child relationships and sub-issue counts' — modifies structural relationships and metadata of an issue in a reversible manner.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs move_issue 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 move_issue, this is the rule to start with:

move_issue Rate-limited

move_issue stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

What risk level is move_issue? +

Can I rate-limit move_issue? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the move_issue 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 move_issue completely? +

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