FAQ

Is the Scout MCP server safe to use without restrictions? +

The Scout server is primarily read-only with 17 read tools. While it cannot modify data, an agent in a retry loop can make thousands of API calls per minute, exhausting rate limits and running up costs. Rate limiting is still recommended.

How many tools does the Scout MCP server expose? +

18 tools across 2 categories: Execute, Read. 17 are read-only. 1 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Scout? +

Register the Scout MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.
