## Parameters

| 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.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "neuron_list_builtin_tools",
    "arguments": {
      "botId": "<botId>"
    }
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Neuron:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "neuron_list_builtin_tools": {}
  }
}
```
