AI agents call job_alert_subscribe to retrieve information from FoundRole — AI Job Search & Application Tracker MCP for Claude & ChatGPT without modifying any data.

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 job_alert_subscribe 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.
