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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "neuron_populate_contacts",
    "arguments": {}

## Why neuron_populate_contacts is rated Medium

This tool modifies contact data by enriching and syncing information from external sources. While the changes are reversible (contacts can be updated or reverted), the operation directly alters stored contact records. It is not merely reading data (which would be Read category) because it explicitly enriches and syncs information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Enrich existing contacts with additional data' and 'Syncs profile information' – both indicate modification of contact records."

## Use case

AI agents use neuron_populate_contacts 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "neuron_populate_contacts": {
      "limits": [
        {
