Why neuron_handle_join_requests is rated Medium
This tool modifies group membership state by approving or rejecting join requests, which are write operations. Although it affects who can access a group, these decisions are not irreversible (admins can remove approved members or reinvite rejected ones), so it does not qualify as Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Approve or reject pending join requests' — these are reversible state changes (approval can be reversed by removal, rejection can be overturned by resubmitting a request).

The rule that runs neuron_handle_join_requests 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_handle_join_requests, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_handle_join_requests 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_handle_join_requests call is checked against it from then on.
