Route a task to a registered downstream agent via HTTP. Args: - target_agent (string): Name of the agent - task (string): Task description - payload (object): Arbitrary payload Returns: JSON with the agent
AI agents invoke neuroverse_route to trigger actions in Neuroverse. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
This tool executes code/operations on downstream agents via HTTP with caller-controlled task description and payload. While not directly destructive or financial, it can trigger any operation on a remote system and represents a significant blast radius if an AI agent specifies a malicious task or payload to an untrusted agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Route a task to a registered downstream agent via HTTP' with arbitrary payload support.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Route a task to a registered downstream agent via HTTP. Args: - target_agent (string): Name of the agent - task (string): Task description - payload (object): Arbitrary payload Returns: JSON with the agent. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Neuroverse MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Neuroverse MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for neuroverse_route: 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 Neuroverse. Nothing to install.
neuroverse_route is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the neuroverse_route 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 neuroverse_route. 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.
neuroverse_route is provided by the Neuroverse MCP server (joshua400/neuroverse). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
