What neuron_clear_chat does on Neuron
AI agents call neuron_clear_chat to permanently remove resources in Neuron, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
execute | boolean | — | Actually clear. Default false = preview only. |
chatKind | string | — | DMs, groups, or both (default both). |
mediaTypes | array | — | Only these media types (media clears only). |
confirmChats | integer | — | Required for workspace-wide clears: the 'conversations' number from the preview. |
alsoBotMemory | boolean | — | Also clear what the bot learned from these chats (insights, conversation summary). |
olderThanDays | object | — | Only messages older than this many days. Omit/null for all ages. |
conversationIds | array | — | Limit to these conversations. Omit for the whole workspace. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_clear_chat 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_clear_chat, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_clear_chat is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Neuron, apply this rule, and every neuron_clear_chat call is checked against it from then on.
