AI agents use auto_apply to create or modify resources in AI Applyd. 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 auto_apply 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 AI Applyd.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Automatically apply to a job using AI. Tailors your resume, generates a cover letter, and submits the application. Provide the job URL and optionally your resume text. Requires paid plan (Hired in 30+).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AI Applyd MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the AI Applyd MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for auto_apply: 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 Applyd. Nothing to install.
auto_apply 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 auto_apply 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 auto_apply. 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.
auto_apply is provided by the AI Applyd MCP server (https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
