WHAT IT DOES

What neuron_send_poll does on Neuron

AI agents use neuron_send_poll 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
`to`	string	Yes	Recipient JID or phone number (individual or group)
`name`	string	Yes	Poll question/title
`options`	array	Yes	Poll answer options (2-12 items)
`channelId`	string	Yes	WhatsApp channel identifier (UUID)
`selectableCount`	integer	—	Max selections allowed. 0 = unlimited (default). 1 = single-choice.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why neuron_send_poll is rated Medium

This is a Write operation because it creates new data (poll messages) and sends them to users, producing side effects in conversations. It is not Read (does not merely retrieve data), Execute (does not run arbitrary code or commands), Destructive (does not delete or irreversibly overwrite data), Financial (no money involved), or Other.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Send a poll message via WhatsApp' — this actively creates and transmits a poll message to WhatsApp users, which modifies the state of conversations and message history.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs neuron_send_poll 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_send_poll, this is the rule to start with:

neuron_send_poll Rate-limited

neuron_send_poll 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.
