## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "neuron_update_kb_entry",
    "arguments": {
      "kbId": "<kbId>",
      "entryId": "<entryId>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why neuron_update_kb_entry is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing data (knowledge base entries) but does not delete or destroy information—the changes can be reverted or re-edited. It is not Read (retrieves data only), Execute (runs external operations), Destructive (irreversibly deletes), or Financial.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'update' and description explicitly states 'Update the content, title, folder, or source of an existing knowledge base entry.' These are modifications to data that are reversible."

Risk signals: Accepts file system path (folder) · Accepts raw HTML/template content (content)

## Use case

AI agents use neuron_update_kb_entry 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Neuron:
