What neuron_create_bot does on Neuron
AI agents use neuron_create_bot 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | Yes | Display name for the bot |
llmModel | string | — | OpenRouter model ID (e.g., 'google/gemini-2.5-flash-lite', 'openrouter/auto') |
maxTokens | number | — | Maximum number of tokens the bot can generate per response |
assignment | string | — | One-sentence role definition for the bot (max 2000 chars) |
systemPrompt | string | Yes | System prompt that defines the bot's behavior, personality, and response guidelines |
llmTemperature | number | — | Temperature parameter controlling response randomness (0 = deterministic, 2 = creative) |
fallbackMessage | string | — | Message sent when the bot cannot understand user input (max 2000 chars) |
greetingMessage | string | — | Automatic greeting sent when a new conversation starts (max 2000 chars) |
escalationPrompt | string | — | Prompt template used when escalating to a human agent (max 5000 chars) |

Why neuron_create_bot is rated Medium
This tool creates a new bot resource, which is a reversible write operation. The severity is medium because creating a bot in a messaging platform could enable spam, phishing, or unauthorized automated communications if misused by an AI agent, but the action itself is not destructive and can be undone by deletion. Confidence is high as the name and description clearly indicate a create/write operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create' and description states 'Create a new AI bot' with 'Returns the created bot object' indicating data creation/persistence.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_create_bot 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_create_bot, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_create_bot 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Neuron, apply this rule, and every neuron_create_bot call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_create_bot
Create a new AI bot with specified name, model, and behavior instructions. Returns the created bot object. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
neuron_create_bot accepts 11 parameters: name, llmModel, maxTokens, assignment, systemPrompt, llmTemperature, fallbackMessage, greetingMessage, escalationPrompt, responsibilities, whatsappChannelId. Required: name, systemPrompt. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Neuron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for neuron_create_bot: 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 Neuron. Nothing to install.
neuron_create_bot 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 neuron_create_bot 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 neuron_create_bot. 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.
neuron_create_bot is provided by the Neuron MCP server (neuron-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
