What neuron_revoke_api_key does on Neuron
AI agents call neuron_revoke_api_key to permanently remove resources in Neuron, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
botId | string | Yes | Unique identifier (UUID) of the bot that owns the API key |
keyId | string | Yes | Unique identifier (UUID) of the API key to revoke |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why neuron_revoke_api_key is rated Critical
Revoking an API key is a destructive action because it permanently and irreversibly invalidates the key, preventing all future programmatic access. While the key itself is not data deletion, the action destroys an active credential's utility in a way that cannot be recovered.
From the tool's definition "Permanently revoke" and "This action cannot be undone" explicitly indicate an irreversible operation that destroys access credentials.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_revoke_api_key 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_revoke_api_key, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_revoke_api_key is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Neuron, apply this rule, and every neuron_revoke_api_key call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_revoke_api_key
Permanently revoke an API key to immediately invalidate it and prevent further programmatic access. This action cannot be undone. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
neuron_revoke_api_key accepts 2 parameters: botId, keyId. Required: botId, keyId. 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_revoke_api_key: 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_revoke_api_key is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuron_revoke_api_key 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_revoke_api_key. 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_revoke_api_key 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.
