WHAT IT DOES

What neuron_pause_bot does on Neuron

AI agents invoke neuron_pause_bot to trigger actions in Neuron. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	Yes	Unique identifier (UUID) of the bot to pause

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why neuron_pause_bot is rated High

This tool triggers an operational state change on an external service (stopping a bot from processing messages). It is reversible (can be resumed later), so it does not qualify as Destructive. It does not merely read or write data — it executes a control action that affects the bot's runtime behavior, making Execute the most appropriate category.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs neuron_pause_bot 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_bot, this is the rule to start with:

neuron_pause_bot Rate-limited

neuron_pause_bot stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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_bot call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about neuron_pause_bot

What does the neuron_pause_bot tool do? +

Pause a bot to temporarily stop it from processing new messages. The bot retains its configuration and can be resumed later. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does neuron_pause_bot accept? +

neuron_pause_bot accepts 1 parameter: id. Required: id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on neuron_pause_bot? +

Register the Neuron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for neuron_pause_bot: 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.

What risk level is neuron_pause_bot? +

neuron_pause_bot is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit neuron_pause_bot? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuron_pause_bot 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.

How do I block neuron_pause_bot completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for neuron_pause_bot. 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.

What MCP server provides neuron_pause_bot? +

neuron_pause_bot 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.
