Part of the Agent Broker server.

get_outcome is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_outcome to retrieve information from Agent Broker without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_outcome only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_outcome only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_outcome tool do? +

Retrieve the final OutcomeReceipt for a completed operation. WHEN TO USE: Use after get_status returns success/failure/partial to retrieve the full result with cost and reason codes. WHEN NOT TO USE: Do not use for operations still in pending/executing state — use get_status first. COST: $0.001 per_call LATENCY: ~50ms. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agent Broker MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_outcome? +

Register the Agent Broker MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_outcome: 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 Agent Broker. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_outcome? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_outcome? +

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

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

get_outcome is provided by the Agent Broker MCP server (https://agent-broker-edge.basil-agent.workers.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Agent Broker tool call.
