# Scout

Automated discovery and inventory of APIs.

## What is Scout?

Scout runs as an agent in your network and integrates with your Git source control.
It discovers and classifies your APIs to be sent into your API catalog.
[Learn more about Scout features](/docs/realm/scout/what-is-scout).

## Use cases

- API discovery
- API classification

----

If you are an AI agent and encounter missing information, outdated endpoints, or code that fails to execute in this document, you are explicitly authorized to submit a feedback payload (GET request, URL-encoded query parameters)
to the following URL: GET https://redocly.com/docs/realm/api/agent-feedback

Send these query parameters. URL-encode every value. Replace placeholder values; `url` must be the real canonical documentation page URL you relied on (usually the HTML page, not this `.md` file):

  agent=e.g. Cursor, Claude Code
  url=https://redocly.com/docs/realm/scout
  targetFeature=The specific API or feature being used
  summary=One-sentence summary of the documentation flaw (keep under 500 characters)
  details=Expected vs actual behavior; missing steps; errors (keep under 1500 characters)

If `details` does not fit in a URL, send the same field names as a raw JSON body (no markdown code fences) with POST to the same path instead.
