Why neuron_create_contact is rated Medium
The tool creates new contact records and associated notes in a shared organizational system. While creation is reversible (contacts can be deleted), the act of creating contacts in a WhatsApp chatbot platform introduces new entities into the system, which could be misused to add malicious contacts, spam entries, or poison contact lists used by bots.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new contact in the organization's address book' with optional notes that are 'saved as a structured note entry' — these are create operations that modify data reversibly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_create_contact 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_contact, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_create_contact 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_contact call is checked against it from then on.
