Why neuron_set_default_channel is rated Medium
This tool modifies organizational settings by setting or clearing a default WhatsApp channel configuration. This is a Write operation because it creates or modifies data (the default channel setting) that can be reversed or cleared. While it affects how other tools (like neuron_send_whatsapp) route messages, it does not directly send messages, delete data irreversibly, or execute arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'neuron_set_default_channel' and description explicitly state it 'Set or clear the default WhatsApp channel for the organization', which are reversible configuration modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_set_default_channel 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_set_default_channel, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_set_default_channel 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_set_default_channel call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_set_default_channel
Set or clear the default WhatsApp channel for the organization. The default channel is used by neuron_send_whatsapp for auto-resolving which channel to send through. 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_set_default_channel accepts 2 parameters: orgId, channelId. Required: orgId, channelId. 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_set_default_channel: 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_set_default_channel 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_set_default_channel 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_set_default_channel. 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_set_default_channel 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.
