profile_write_file

Write one of the profile markdown files (skills, experience, or projects). Used by the onboarding agent after extracting structured content from the raw resume. Overwrites existing content — pass the full new file body.

Accepts file system path (file); Accepts raw HTML/template content (content)

jobsync-mcp Write

AI agents use profile_write_file 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 profile_write_file 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 profile_write_file tool do? +

Write one of the profile markdown files (skills, experience, or projects). Used by the onboarding agent after extracting structured content from the raw resume. Overwrites existing content — pass the full new file body.. 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 profile_write_file? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit profile_write_file? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the profile_write_file 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_write_file completely? +

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

profile_write_file 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.
