WHAT IT DOES

What neuron_toggle_builtin_tool does on Neuron

AI agents use neuron_toggle_builtin_tool 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
`botId`	string	Yes	Unique identifier (UUID) of the bot to toggle the tool for
`toolId`	string	Yes	Identifier of the built-in tool (e.g., 'delete_message', 'post_status', 'web_search')
`enabled`	boolean	Yes	Whether to enable (true) or disable (false) the tool

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why neuron_toggle_builtin_tool is rated Medium

This tool modifies the configuration of a bot by enabling or disabling built-in tools. It is a reversible state change (toggling on/off), making it a Write operation. However, the severity is medium because enabling certain tools (e.g., delete_message, post_to_channel, send_direct_message) could indirectly allow harmful actions if misused — but the toggle itself is reversible.

From the tool's definition Toggle a built-in tool on or off for a specific bot. Enabled tools become available in the bot's conversations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs neuron_toggle_builtin_tool 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_toggle_builtin_tool, this is the rule to start with:

neuron_toggle_builtin_tool Rate-limited

neuron_toggle_builtin_tool 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.

FAQ

Questions about neuron_toggle_builtin_tool

What does the neuron_toggle_builtin_tool tool do? +

Toggle a built-in tool on or off for a specific bot. Enabled tools become available in the bot's conversations. Example tool IDs: delete_message, post_to_channel, post_status, web_search, send_direct_message, react_to_message, set_reminder, create_poll. 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.

What parameters does neuron_toggle_builtin_tool accept? +

neuron_toggle_builtin_tool accepts 3 parameters: botId, toolId, enabled. Required: botId, toolId, enabled. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on neuron_toggle_builtin_tool? +

Register the Neuron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for neuron_toggle_builtin_tool: 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.

What risk level is neuron_toggle_builtin_tool? +

neuron_toggle_builtin_tool is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit neuron_toggle_builtin_tool? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuron_toggle_builtin_tool 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.

How do I block neuron_toggle_builtin_tool completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for neuron_toggle_builtin_tool. 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.

What MCP server provides neuron_toggle_builtin_tool? +

neuron_toggle_builtin_tool 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.
