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

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why neuron_add_bot_channel is rated Medium

This is a Write operation: it creates a new association between a bot and a WhatsApp channel, modifying the bot's operational configuration reversibly. The severity is medium because misconfiguration could allow unauthorized channel access or unintended message routing, but the impact is limited to bot configuration rather than data deletion or financial consequences.

From the tool's definition The tool 'connects an additional WhatsApp channel to a bot' and enables the bot to 'respond to messages on this channel,' indicating it creates or modifies bot configuration to add a communication channel.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs neuron_add_bot_channel safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Neuron, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For neuron_add_bot_channel, this is the rule to start with:

neuron_add_bot_channel Rate-limited

neuron_add_bot_channel 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.
