AI agents call competitive_deep_dive_async to retrieve information from Gapup Mcp 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 competitive_deep_dive_async 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.

Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
Async variant of competitive_deep_dive. Returns immediately (<200ms) with a job_id. The research runs in the background (p50≈25s, p95≈30s for depth=medium). Poll the result with competitive_deep_dive_result(job_id) after the eta_seconds hint. Use this instead of competitive_deep_dive when the agent cannot wait >15s for a response. Inputs: same as competitive_deep_dive — company (required), competitors (optional list, max 5), depth (easy/medium/hard, default medium). Async tool — register a webhook via webhooks_manage(register, url, [job.completed]) to receive callbacks instead of polling. Faster + lighter.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gapup Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gapup MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for competitive_deep_dive_async: 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 Gapup Mcp. Nothing to install.
competitive_deep_dive_async 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 competitive_deep_dive_async 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 competitive_deep_dive_async. 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.
competitive_deep_dive_async is provided by the Gapup MCP server (https://mcp.gapup.io/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
