Medium Risk

cache_mark_seen

Record one or more jobs as seen in the local SQLite cache. Call this after successful `airtable_upsert_job` so the next run skips duplicates without round-tripping Airtable.

Part of the Jobsync MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

jobsync-mcp Write

AI agents use cache_mark_seen to create or modify resources in Jobsync. 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 cache_mark_seen repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Jobsync.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the cache_mark_seen tool do? +

Record one or more jobs as seen in the local SQLite cache. Call this after successful `airtable_upsert_job` so the next run skips duplicates without round-tripping Airtable.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Jobsync MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on cache_mark_seen? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for cache_mark_seen. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Jobsync MCP server.

What risk level is cache_mark_seen? +

cache_mark_seen is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit cache_mark_seen? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cache_mark_seen rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block cache_mark_seen completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for cache_mark_seen. 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.

What MCP server provides cache_mark_seen? +

cache_mark_seen is provided by the Jobsync MCP server (jobsync-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
