submit_discovery_job

Explicitly submit an async batch buyer discovery job for a category + country. Returns a job_id; poll it with check_discovery_task until status=completed. Note: find_buyers already auto-starts a background crawl when coverage is thin, so usually you only need this for a forced/fresh deep crawl.

Part of the Buyer Intelligence server.

submit_discovery_job can modify Buyer Intelligence data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use submit_discovery_job to create or modify resources in Buyer Intelligence. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call submit_discovery_job repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Buyer Intelligence.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so submit_discovery_job only ever does what you allow.

How do I enforce a policy on submit_discovery_job? +

Register the Buyer Intelligence MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for submit_discovery_job: 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 submit_discovery_job? +

submit_discovery_job is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit submit_discovery_job? +

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

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

submit_discovery_job 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.

Enforce policy on every Buyer Intelligence tool call.
