solicited_node
IPv6 solicited-node multicast address, ff02::1:ffXX:XXXX, from the low 24 bits of an IPv6 address or from the last three octets of a MAC. The U/L flip does not change those 24 bits, so the MAC and its SLAAC address share one solicited-node address. Hex groups only; no zone index. Price: $0.001 US...

What solicited_node does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call solicited_node 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
mac | string | — | |
address | string | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why solicited_node is rated Low
Even though solicited_node 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs solicited_node 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 solicited_node, this is the rule to start with:
solicited_node is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every solicited_node call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about solicited_node
IPv6 solicited-node multicast address, ff02::1:ffXX:XXXX, from the low 24 bits of an IPv6 address or from the last three octets of a MAC. The U/L flip does not change those 24 bits, so the MAC and its SLAAC address share one solicited-node address. Hex groups only; no zone index. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: GET https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/solicited-node. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
solicited_node accepts 2 parameters: mac, address. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for solicited_node: 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.
solicited_node is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the solicited_node 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 solicited_node. 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.
solicited_node 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.
