What neuron_pause_ad_request does on Neuron
AI agents use neuron_pause_ad_request to create or update resources in Neuron, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Neuron environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
adRequestId | string | Yes | Unique identifier (UUID) of the active ad request to pause |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why neuron_pause_ad_request is rated Medium
This is a Write operation because it modifies campaign state reversibly. While it halts distribution, the campaign can be resumed, making it a state change rather than deletion or destruction. The blast radius is medium because pausing an ad campaign affects business operations and customer reach, but the effect is not permanent and no data is lost.
From the tool's definition Tool pauses an active ad request campaign, stopping distribution. This modifies the state of a campaign (active→paused), which is a reversible change that can be resumed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_pause_ad_request 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_pause_ad_request, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_pause_ad_request 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_pause_ad_request call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_pause_ad_request
Pause an active ad request campaign. Distribution stops until resumed. Only active ad requests can be paused. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
neuron_pause_ad_request accepts 1 parameter: adRequestId. Required: adRequestId. 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_pause_ad_request: 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_pause_ad_request is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuron_pause_ad_request 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_pause_ad_request. 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_pause_ad_request 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.
