What neuron_set_override does on Neuron
AI agents use neuron_set_override 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
date | string | Yes | Date to override (YYYY-MM-DD) |
hours | array | — | Custom hours for this date (overrides weekly hours) |
reason | string | — | Reason for the override (e.g. 'Holiday') |
calendarId | string | Yes | Calendar UUID |
isUnavailable | boolean | — | Mark the entire day as unavailable |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why neuron_set_override is rated Medium
An AI agent can call neuron_set_override faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Neuron by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs neuron_set_override 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_override, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_set_override 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_override call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_set_override
Set a date-specific availability override — mark a day as unavailable, or set custom hours for that date. 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_override accepts 5 parameters: date, hours, reason, calendarId, isUnavailable. Required: date, calendarId. 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_override: 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_override 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_override 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_override. 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_override 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.
