match_jobs

Rank active AI/ML jobs against a candidate profile (skills, salary range, workplace, level). Scoring combines tag overlap (+2 per match), salary overlap (+3), workplace/level/type/location matches, and description keyword hits. Use this when an agent is choosing which role to surface to its user ...

Part of the AI Dev Jobs server.

match_jobs is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call match_jobs to retrieve information from AI Dev Jobs without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though match_jobs only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so match_jobs only ever does what you allow.

What does the match_jobs tool do? +

Rank active AI/ML jobs against a candidate profile (skills, salary range, workplace, level). Scoring combines tag overlap (+2 per match), salary overlap (+3), workplace/level/type/location matches, and description keyword hits. Use this when an agent is choosing which role to surface to its user — it returns pre-ranked matches with scoring explanations.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AI Dev Jobs MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on match_jobs? +

Register the AI Dev Jobs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for match_jobs: 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 AI Dev Jobs. Nothing to install.

What risk level is match_jobs? +

match_jobs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit match_jobs? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the match_jobs 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.

How do I block match_jobs completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for match_jobs. 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.

What MCP server provides match_jobs? +

match_jobs is provided by the AI Dev Jobs MCP server (https://aidevboard.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every AI Dev Jobs tool call.
