Privacy & Security
How Scout handles your data, what it accesses, and how brand isolation works.
Scout has zero direct database access. All data flows through authenticated HTTP APIs. No queries or conversation content is logged.
Runtime architecture
Scout runs on Cloudflare Workers. No persistent storage on the server side. All tool calls are processed in-memory and discarded. There is zero direct database access — all data flows through HTTP APIs to the Optimly core application.
Unauthenticated requests
No data is stored. Tool calls are processed and discarded. IP addresses are held in-memory only for rate limiting (30 req/IP/hr) and reset on Worker cold start. No cookies, no session tokens, no tracking.
Authenticated requests
API key tier resolution is cached in-memory for 5 minutes per key (resets on Worker cold start). OAuth client registrations are stored in Cloudflare KV with a 30-day TTL. Auth code state has a 10-minute TTL.
BrandVault data
BrandVault data is owned by you. It is only served to queries about YOUR brand. Not shared with competitors. Accessed through the core app API, authenticated per-request. Scout never caches BrandVault content. You control what's published via BrandVault Publish Controls (field-level toggles).
Cross-brand isolation
Scout never leaks data between claimed brands. Your BrandVault data is only accessible when querying your own brand with a valid API key. Other brands querying your category will see public directory data only.
CORS policy
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * — standard for MCP servers. Scout is designed to be called from any MCP client.
Rate limiting
30 requests per IP per hour for unauthenticated requests. Unlimited for authenticated requests. Rate limit state is held in-memory and resets on Worker cold start.
Write proxy — allowed tables
The write proxy only allows inserts to these 8 specific tables. No writes to brand data, user data, or billing data:
