WHAT IT DOES

What link_check does on ScorpTech x402 API

AI agents call link_check to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	—	Public http(s) page
`base`	string	—	Base URL for relative links in inline html
`html`	string	—	Inline HTML instead of url
`limit`	integer	—	Links to check
`scope`	string	—
`assets`	boolean	—	Also check img / script / stylesheet / iframe URLs
`timeout`	integer	—	Per-link timeout (ms)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why link_check is rated Low

Even though link_check only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs link_check safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For link_check, this is the rule to start with:

link_check Allowed

link_check is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "link_check": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every link_check call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about link_check

What does the link_check tool do? +

Find broken links on a public web page (or in supplied HTML, e.g. a draft before publishing): fetches the page (SSRF-safe), extracts links (optionally images / scripts / stylesheets too), then checks up to 50 of them in parallel with HEAD (falling back to GET), every target re-validated against private / internal addresses and pinned to its checked IP. Reports status, category (ok / redirect / broken / error / blocked), redirect location, response time and anchor text, broken first. Price: $0.006 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/link-check. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does link_check accept? +

link_check accepts 7 parameters: url, base, html, limit, scope, assets, timeout. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on link_check? +

Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for link_check: 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 ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.

What risk level is link_check? +

link_check is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit link_check? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the link_check 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.

How do I block link_check completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for link_check. 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.

What MCP server provides link_check? +

link_check is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
