WHAT IT DOES

What competitor_pricing_scrape does on Mcp Knowledge

AI agents invoke competitor_pricing_scrape to trigger actions in Mcp Knowledge. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	Yes	Competitor URL or domain (e.g. 'https://notion.so/pricing', 'notion.so', 'https://www.example.com'). For best results, provide the direct pricing page URL.
`async`	boolean	—	If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti

RISK

Why competitor_pricing_scrape is rated High

This tool actively fetches external URLs using a proxy-aware HTTP client, executing network requests against third-party websites. It triggers external operations (web scraping) whose effects depend on the URL argument provided. This goes beyond a simple read of internal data — it initiates outbound connections to arbitrary domains, which classifies it as Execute.

From the tool's definition Scrape and parse a competitor pricing page from a URL or domain. Fetches via proxy-aware timedFetch (tries /pricing, /plans, homepage fallback)

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs competitor_pricing_scrape safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Knowledge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For competitor_pricing_scrape, this is the rule to start with:

competitor_pricing_scrape Rate-limited

competitor_pricing_scrape stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
