Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why neuron_delete_task is rated Critical
An AI agent that decides to call neuron_delete_task doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Neuron is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_delete_task 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_delete_task, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_delete_task 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_delete_task call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_delete_task
Delete a scheduled task. This is a soft delete — the task stops running immediately. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
neuron_delete_task accepts 1 parameter: id. Required: id. 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_delete_task: 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_delete_task is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuron_delete_task 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_delete_task. 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_delete_task 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.
