AI agents use neuron_update_profile_name 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.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why neuron_update_profile_name is rated Medium

The tool modifies bot profile metadata (WhatsApp display name) but does not delete, execute code, move money, or perform irreversible actions. This is a straightforward data update operation. Severity is medium because unauthorized display name changes could enable impersonation or reputation damage in a WhatsApp communications context, but the change itself is fully reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'update' and description states 'Update the bot's WhatsApp display name', indicating a reversible modification operation.
