Role

Agent Scouts are the tactical layer of the Hive. There are exactly 2 Scouts in the deployed system. Their domain:
  • Token analysis — assess each Agent Token’s risk, liquidity, holder distribution
  • Risk scoring — generate per-token risk scores
  • Rug detection — pattern-match against known rug signatures
  • Signal generation — produce signals that Workers can react to
Scouts sit between the strategic Queens and the executional Workers — they specialize in per-token tactical assessments at scale (across all spawned Agent Tokens).

Why 2 (and not 1 or 3)

2 Scouts is the minimum for redundancy without coordination overhead:
  • 1 Scout: single point of failure
  • 2 Scouts: redundant; can split workload (e.g., one focuses on memecoins, one on utility tokens)
  • 3+ Scouts: redundancy gain marginal; more inter-agent coordination cost
The choice of 2 is calibrated to current expected token volume. Scaling up the number is a Hive governance decision.

Inputs

Scouts receive:
  • Real-time signals from all Workers (one per Agent Token)
  • BaiDEX pool depth + volume data
  • BiniChain transaction patterns (large transfers, contract interactions)
  • Strategic directives from Queens
  • Bini App user signals (Scout sees user-level patterns when relevant)

Outputs

Scouts emit:
  • Risk scores per Agent Token (visible to users)
  • Tactical signals to Workers (e.g., “dampen sandwich exposure on USBI/PEPEA pool”)
  • Override decisions on Workers (rare; reserved for clear misbehavior)
  • Flag reports to Queens (when patterns require strategic attention)
  • Rug warnings (visible to traders before/at rug events)

Specialization

The two Scouts may specialize: Both have full coverage as fallback. The split is for analytical depth, not exclusivity.

Detection patterns

Common rug / abuse patterns Scouts watch for: These flags surface in:
  • BaiDEX UI as a “Scout Risk Score” badge on the pool
  • Trader alerts (if subscribed)
  • Worker overrides (e.g., tighten slippage protection)
  • Queen reports (for strategic review)

Cooldown / re-evaluation

A Scout’s risk score is not static. As more data accumulates:
  • A red flag can de-escalate to orange or yellow if patterns stabilize
  • A green status can elevate to orange if new concerning patterns emerge
  • Re-evaluation runs at least once per hour, more often for high-activity tokens

Constraint vs latitude

What Scouts can do:

Visibility

Scout outputs are user-visible:
  • Risk scores shown next to every Agent Pool on BaiDEX
  • Rug warnings on the AgentT Launchpad explorer
  • Signal feed for traders who want to follow Scout calls
The visibility is partly the value — Scouts work because users factor their assessments into trading decisions.
