Low Risk

profile_read

Read the user's profile: skills.md, experience.md, projects.md, roles.json, and the raw resume text (if any). Use this at the start of every scrape run so role targeting reflects the user's actual background. Returns { skills, experience, projects, roles, activeRoles, rawResume }.

Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

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

AI agents call profile_read to retrieve information from Jobsync without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though profile_read only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the profile_read tool do? +

Read the user's profile: skills.md, experience.md, projects.md, roles.json, and the raw resume text (if any). Use this at the start of every scrape run so role targeting reflects the user's actual background. Returns { skills, experience, projects, roles, activeRoles, rawResume }.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Jobsync MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on profile_read? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for profile_read. 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 profile_read? +

profile_read is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit profile_read? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the profile_read 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 profile_read completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for profile_read. 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 profile_read? +

profile_read 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.
