RISK

Why neuron_update_ad_request is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing ad request records by allowing updates to draft or rejected requests. While reversible (rejected requests revert to draft status, implying prior states can be recovered), it creates or modifies business records in the ad campaign system. The impact is limited to ad request objects rather than destructive deletion or financial transactions, placing it in the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it performs 'Update a draft or rejected ad request' and allows editing of requests that 'revert to draft on update', which are clearly data modification operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs neuron_update_ad_request 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_update_ad_request, this is the rule to start with:

neuron_update_ad_request Rate-limited

neuron_update_ad_request 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.
