Get the Studio's editing vocabulary — every tool (add_text, add_shape, animate_layer, set_visibility_window, group, trim_clip, add_overlay, add_scene, set_transition, …) with its JSON-schema arguments. Read this first when driving the Studio yourself with neuron_studio_apply.

What neuron_studio_catalog does on Neuron
AI agents call neuron_studio_catalog to retrieve information from Neuron without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why neuron_studio_catalog is rated Low
Even though neuron_studio_catalog only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

The rule that runs neuron_studio_catalog 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_studio_catalog, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_studio_catalog is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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_studio_catalog call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_studio_catalog
Get the Studio's editing vocabulary — every tool (add_text, add_shape, animate_layer, set_visibility_window, group, trim_clip, add_overlay, add_scene, set_transition, …) with its JSON-schema arguments. Read this first when driving the Studio yourself with neuron_studio_apply. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Neuron MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Neuron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for neuron_studio_catalog: 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_studio_catalog is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuron_studio_catalog 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_studio_catalog. 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_studio_catalog 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.
