What neuron_upload_document does on Neuron
AI agents use neuron_upload_document 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.

Why neuron_upload_document is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies data (adds documents to a knowledge base) in a reversible manner - uploaded documents can typically be deleted or replaced. It has no destructive capability (data cannot be permanently destroyed), does not execute arbitrary code, and does not involve financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Upload a text document to a knowledge base' - the word 'Upload' indicates a create/write operation that adds new data to the system. The document is 'automatically chunked and indexed', confirming data is being created and stored.

The rule that runs neuron_upload_document 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_upload_document, this is the rule to start with:
neuron_upload_document 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Neuron, apply this rule, and every neuron_upload_document call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about neuron_upload_document
Upload a text document to a knowledge base. The document will be automatically chunked and indexed for semantic search. 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.
neuron_upload_document accepts 4 parameters: id, folder, content, filename. Required: id, content, filename. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Neuron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for neuron_upload_document: 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_upload_document is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuron_upload_document 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_upload_document. 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_upload_document 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.
