WHAT IT DOES

What search_github_jobs does on Jobs

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

RISK

Why search_github_jobs is rated Low

This tool queries GitHub for job postings, which is a read-only operation that retrieves information without side effects. There is no data modification, code execution, deletion, or financial transaction involved. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius even if misused - an AI agent could only retrieve job listings, not cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] GitHub repositories and discussions for job postings' - a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of external systems.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_github_jobs safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Jobs, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_github_jobs, this is the rule to start with:

search_github_jobs Allowed

search_github_jobs is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_github_jobs": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Jobs, apply this rule, and every search_github_jobs call is checked against it from then on.
