AI agents use candidate_screening_ranking to create or modify resources in Mcp Knowledge. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call candidate_screening_ranking repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Mcp Knowledge.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

AI-powered candidate screening and ranking for recruiters, hiring managers, ATS providers and recruitment AI agents. Ingests a job description and 1-50 candidate resumes, returning a ranked shortlist with score breakdowns across five weighted criteria: skills_match (tech stack and soft skills extracted from JD vs resume), experience_match (years vs seniority level inferred from JD), education_match (degree level + top-school detection), role_progression (Junior to Senior to Lead patterns), culture_fit_estimate (remote/hybrid, startup vs enterprise). Per candidate: overall_score 0-100, matched/missing skills, red_flags (job hopping, employment gaps, seniority mismatch), green_flags (long tenure, promotions), 3-5 interview questions, fit_summary. Diversity signals are first-name proxies ONLY with mandatory ethical WARNING. All processing is local -- no external API calls, instant response, privacy-preserving.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Knowledge MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Knowledge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for candidate_screening_ranking: 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 Mcp Knowledge. Nothing to install.
candidate_screening_ranking is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the candidate_screening_ranking 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for candidate_screening_ranking. 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.
candidate_screening_ranking is provided by the Mcp Knowledge MCP server (https://mcp.gapup.io). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
