AI agents call offer_list 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 performs a read-only query to retrieve offer records from the Ashby recruiting system. The verb 'list' combined with 'optional pagination' confirms it retrieves data without side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or used for financial transactions. This is a standard data retrieval operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'offer_list' and description 'List all offers with optional pagination' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

offer_list 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 offer_list 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 offer_list. 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.
