Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_delete_tool 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_tool, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_delete_tool 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_tool call is checked against it from then on.
