Set the priority order of rules by providing rule IDs in the desired order. The first rule in the list gets the highest priority and is evaluated first.
AI agents use reorder_rules to create or update resources in NeuronSearchLab — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your NeuronSearchLab environment.
This tool modifies rule priorities in what appears to be a recommendation/filtering engine. While the change is technically reversible (rules can be reordered again), reordering rule evaluation priority is a Write operation that can have significant downstream effects on system behavior and results served to users.
From the tool's definition Tool 'reorder_rules' modifies the state of rules by changing their priority order—a reversible but consequential configuration change. Description states 'Set the priority order of rules' which is an explicit modification operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Set the priority order of rules by providing rule IDs in the desired order. The first rule in the list gets the highest priority and is evaluated first. It is categorised as a Write tool in the NeuronSearchLab MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the NeuronSearchLab MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reorder_rules: 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 NeuronSearchLab. Nothing to install.
reorder_rules 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 reorder_rules 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 reorder_rules. 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.
reorder_rules is provided by the NeuronSearchLab MCP server (neuronsearchlab/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
