What neuron_create_knowledge_base does on Neuron
AI agents use neuron_create_knowledge_base 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 | Name of the knowledge base |
description | string | — | Optional description of the knowledge base purpose |
rootInstruction | string | — | Optional root instruction or context for the knowledge base |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why neuron_create_knowledge_base is rated Medium
This tool creates a new knowledge base resource, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move funds, or cause irreversible damage. The severity is low because creating a knowledge base has minimal blast radius—it merely adds a new organizational container without modifying existing critical data or triggering external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new knowledge base' which is a creational operation that stores and organizes information. The verb 'create' and the action of 'store' information indicate data creation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_create_knowledge_base 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_knowledge_base, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_create_knowledge_base 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_knowledge_base call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_create_knowledge_base
Create a new knowledge base to store and organize information, documents, and entries. 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_knowledge_base accepts 3 parameters: name, description, rootInstruction. Required: name. 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_knowledge_base: 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_knowledge_base 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_knowledge_base 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_knowledge_base. 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_knowledge_base 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.
