AI agents call job_info to retrieve information from Ashby MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves job information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that queries the Ashby recruiting database for job details. No reversible or irreversible changes, code execution, or financial transactions are involved. Blast radius is minimal as the tool only exposes existing job data.

Register the Ashby MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for job_info: 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 Ashby MCP. Nothing to install.
job_info is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the job_info 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 job_info. 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.
job_info is provided by the Ashby MCP server (jaketeagle/ashby-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
