Async extended variant of patent_landscape. Supports max_results up to 200 (vs 50 in sync mode) and an optional include_citation_graph flag that enriches each patent with its 2-level citation graph (parent patents that cite this one + child patents cited by this one). Returns immediately (<300ms)...

AI agents invoke patent_landscape_async to trigger processes or run actions in Gapup Mcp. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
patent_landscape_async can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Async extended variant of patent_landscape. Supports max_results up to 200 (vs 50 in sync mode) and an optional include_citation_graph flag that enriches each patent with its 2-level citation graph (parent patents that cite this one + child patents cited by this one). Returns immediately (<300ms) with a job_id. Poll the result with patent_landscape_result(job_id) after eta_seconds (~180s). Use for deep R&D white-space analysis, freedom-to-operate (FTO) audits, VC due diligence IP mapping, or large-scale competitor portfolio analysis. 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 Execute tool in the Gapup Mcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Gapup MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for patent_landscape_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.
patent_landscape_async is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the patent_landscape_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 patent_landscape_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.
patent_landscape_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.
