neuron_extract_leads
Run a one-off extraction WITHOUT creating a persistent source, saving the results to the lead pool. Great for pasted text or a web page. type + config as in neuron_create_lead_source (e.g. type='text_paste', config={text}).

What neuron_extract_leads does on Neuron
AI agents call neuron_extract_leads to retrieve information from Neuron without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
type | string | Yes | Lead source type. facebook = Meta Ads Library advertisers; web/IG/X/FB scraping needs DeepAPI configured; TikTok has no native provider (use tool_output). |
config | object | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why neuron_extract_leads is rated Low
Even though neuron_extract_leads only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_extract_leads 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_extract_leads, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_extract_leads is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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_extract_leads call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_extract_leads
Run a one-off extraction WITHOUT creating a persistent source, saving the results to the lead pool. Great for pasted text or a web page. type + config as in neuron_create_lead_source (e.g. type='text_paste', config={text}). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
neuron_extract_leads accepts 2 parameters: type, config. Required: type, config. 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_extract_leads: 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_extract_leads is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuron_extract_leads 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_extract_leads. 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_extract_leads 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.
