Part of the Buyer Intelligence server.

find_buyers 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 find_buyers to retrieve information from Buyer Intelligence 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 find_buyers 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 find_buyers only ever does what you allow.

What does the find_buyers tool do? +

Search 500,000+ verified importers and distributors by product category and target country. Returns company profiles + a coverage object. When in-database coverage is thin (empty/partial), the response includes an acquisition task (task_id) — a background crawl is started automatically (free). Poll it with check_discovery_task until status=completed to get freshly gathered buyers. Contact details are not included — use enrich_buyer_contact to get them.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Buyer Intelligence MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on find_buyers? +

Register the Buyer Intelligence MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_buyers: 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 Buyer Intelligence. Nothing to install.

What risk level is find_buyers? +

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

Can I rate-limit find_buyers? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the find_buyers 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 find_buyers completely? +

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

find_buyers is provided by the Buyer Intelligence MCP server (https://www.procureradar.com/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
