WHAT IT DOES

What update_todo does on Huly

AI agents use update_todo 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 update_todo is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing ToDo items in a project management system (Huly Planner). Updates are reversible—fields can be changed again or reverted. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or move money (would be Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Update[s] a Planner ToDo' with modifiable fields: title, markdown description, owner, dueDate, priority, and visibility.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

update_todo Rate-limited

update_todo 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.
