prospectpulse · Pulsenetwork MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What prospectpulse does on Pulsenetwork

AI agents call prospectpulse to retrieve information from Pulsenetwork without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why prospectpulse needs a policy

ProspectPulse is a querying/analysis tool that aggregates USGS MRDS data, geochemical analysis, and satellite metadata to inform exploration decisions. While the financial model (x402 USDC payment per query) creates a cost vector, the tool itself does not move money, execute code, or modify data—it only reads and analyzes.

From the tool's definition Tool provides intelligence queries: 'mineral prospectivity assessment', 'mineral deposit intelligence', 'critical minerals country endowment scan', 'jurisdiction entry-risk assessment', 'satellite scene availability'.

Questions about prospectpulse

What does the prospectpulse tool do? +

ProspectPulse: Global mineral and resource exploration intelligence. USGS MRDS deposit inventory, geochemical anomaly analysis, satellite scene availability, jurisdiction entry-risk, social license risk, critical mi Coverage: Global Endpoints: • mineral-potential ($0.25): Mineral prospectivity assessment • deposit-intel ($0.20): Mineral deposit intelligence • critical-minerals-scan ($0.25): Critical minerals country endowment scan • jurisdiction-entry ($0.25): Exploration jurisdiction entry-risk assessment • satellite-availability ($0.10): Free satellite scene availability + remote sensing guide • geochemical-anomaly ($0.15): USGS geochemical anomaly characterization • social-license-risk ($0.20): Social license risk assessment • commodity-supply-intel ($0.20): Commodity supply/demand intelligence • oil-gas-basin ($0.25): Oil & gas basin analysis • exploration-brief ($0.35): Comprehensive exploration target brief (premium). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pulsenetwork MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does prospectpulse accept? +

prospectpulse accepts 12 parameters: lat, lon, lang, basin, action, region, country, deposit, project, elements, location, commodity. Required: action. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on prospectpulse? +

Register the Pulsenetwork MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for prospectpulse: 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 Pulsenetwork. Nothing to install.

What risk level is prospectpulse? +

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

Can I rate-limit prospectpulse? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the prospectpulse 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 prospectpulse completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for prospectpulse. 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 prospectpulse? +

prospectpulse is provided by the Pulsenetwork MCP server (https://pulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
