AI agents call get_category_landscape to retrieve information from StackSwap without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This is a pure data retrieval tool that queries a pre-built landscape database and returns comparative vendor information. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute external operations, and does not trigger financial transactions. The function is to inform users about available GTM tools in a category, making it a straightforward Read classification.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'returns' and 'maps' GTM category data with no mutation capability. Named buckets (crm, outbound, data, etc.) and return fields (cost, AI-readiness, swap-registry status, partner sign-up links) are all informational…

Full map of one GTM category — leaders, runner-ups, and skip/replace candidates. Returns every catalogued tool in the bucket with cost, AI-readiness, swap-registry status, and partner sign-up links. Use when the user wants to see the full landscape for a category (e.g. 'show me all CRMs', 'what outbound tools exist', 'map the analytics category') — strictly more comprehensive than recommend_partner (single best pick). Known buckets: crm, outbound, data, marketing-automation, analytics, meetings, support, scheduling, automation, seo, cdp, revenue-intelligence, chat, collaboration, phone, landing-pages, linkedin, ai-content, saas-mgmt, enablement, ai-tooling. It is categorised as a Read tool in the StackSwap MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_category_landscape accepts 2 parameters: limit, category. Required: category. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the StackSwap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_category_landscape: 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 StackSwap. Nothing to install.
get_category_landscape 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_category_landscape 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_category_landscape. 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_category_landscape is provided by the StackSwap MCP server (StonesofCreation/stackswap-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
