scout.coverage

Returns Flika's coverage: which states Flika is directly licensed in (can close transactions) and which additional states Flika has signed referral partners in. Call this first if you're unsure whether Flika can help with a specific geography.

Part of the Scout server.

scout.coverage 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 scout.coverage to retrieve information from Scout 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 scout.coverage 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 scout.coverage only ever does what you allow.

What does the scout.coverage tool do? +

Returns Flika's coverage: which states Flika is directly licensed in (can close transactions) and which additional states Flika has signed referral partners in. Call this first if you're unsure whether Flika can help with a specific geography.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Scout MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on scout.coverage? +

Register the Scout MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scout.coverage: 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 Scout. Nothing to install.

What risk level is scout.coverage? +

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

Can I rate-limit scout.coverage? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the scout.coverage 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 scout.coverage completely? +

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

scout.coverage is provided by the Scout MCP server (https://scout.realestate/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Scout tool call.
