AI agents call get_financials to retrieve information from Companyscope 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_financials 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.

Get financial data for US public companies from SEC EDGAR filings. Returns revenue, net income, total assets, total liabilities, stockholders' equity, stock exchange tickers, SIC industry code, and recent SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K). Only works for companies that file with the SEC — private companies and non-US companies will return no results. Data is updated as companies file new reports.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Companyscope MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Companyscope MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_financials: 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 Companyscope. Nothing to install.
get_financials 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 get_financials 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 get_financials. 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.
get_financials is provided by the Companyscope MCP server (companyscope-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
