AI agents use rename_drive_item 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.
An AI agent can call rename_drive_item faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Huly by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Rename a Drive item, meaning a file or folder, in its current folder. Idempotent when the title is unchanged. Rejects sibling title collisions; use move_drive_item to change folders. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Huly MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Huly MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rename_drive_item: 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.
rename_drive_item is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rename_drive_item 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 rename_drive_item. 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.
rename_drive_item 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.
