What neuron_list_builtin_tools does on Neuron
AI agents call neuron_list_builtin_tools 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
botId | string | Yes | Unique identifier (UUID) of the bot to list built-in tools for |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why neuron_list_builtin_tools is rated Low
The tool performs a read-only retrieval of metadata about available tools and their status. While it provides information about the bot's capabilities, it does not modify, execute, delete, or transfer any data or resources. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an attacker could only learn what tools are available, not abuse those tools directly through this endpoint.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'Retrieve all available built-in tools with their enabled/disabled status' — this is a query operation that returns information about tool configurations with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_list_builtin_tools 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_list_builtin_tools, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_list_builtin_tools 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_list_builtin_tools call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_list_builtin_tools
Retrieve all available built-in tools with their enabled/disabled status for a specific bot. Built-in tools include WhatsApp actions (send messages, delete messages, post status), utility functions (web search, QR codes, weather), scheduling, knowledge base search, and more. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
neuron_list_builtin_tools accepts 1 parameter: botId. Required: botId. 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_list_builtin_tools: 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_list_builtin_tools 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_list_builtin_tools 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_list_builtin_tools. 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_list_builtin_tools 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.
