What neuron_get_knowledge_base does on Neuron
AI agents call neuron_get_knowledge_base 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.

Why neuron_get_knowledge_base is rated Low
This tool retrieves data from a knowledge base without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read operation on stored data. Severity is low because knowledge base metadata retrieval poses minimal risk even if an AI misuses it—at worst, it could access information the bot has permissions for.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Retrieve detailed information about a specific knowledge base by its ID' - a pure retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_get_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_get_knowledge_base, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_get_knowledge_base 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_get_knowledge_base call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_get_knowledge_base
Retrieve detailed information about a specific knowledge base by its ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
neuron_get_knowledge_base 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_get_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_get_knowledge_base 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_get_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_get_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_get_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.
