What neuron_create_broadcast does on Neuron
AI agents use neuron_create_broadcast 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 or label for the broadcast |
botId | string | — | Identifier (UUID) of a bot to send through. Each recipient's channel is picked by the bot's load-balancer + sticky sessions. Takes precedence over channelId. |
message | string | — | Message content to broadcast to recipients (optional when sending a template) |
mediaUrl | string | — | URL of media to attach (required for image or document message types) |
template | object | — | Approved template (official WhatsApp Business API sessions only). On official API sessions, use one for broadcasts: most recipients won't have messaged you in t |
channelId | string | — | Identifier (UUID) of the WhatsApp channel to send through (auto-resolved from default channel if omitted) |
recipients | array | — | Direct list of recipients (alternative to recipientSources) |
messageType | string | — | Type of message to send (e.g., 'text', 'image', 'document', or 'template' on official API sessions) |
scheduledAt | string | — | ISO 8601 date-time for scheduled broadcast delivery (e.g., '2025-12-31T10:00:00Z'). Creates as draft if omitted. |
recipientSources | object | — | Resolve recipients dynamically from contact lists with filtering and exclusion |

The rule that runs neuron_create_broadcast 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_broadcast, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_create_broadcast 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_broadcast call is checked against it from then on.
