AI agents call list_industries to retrieve information from Kula Ai without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a static list of industry categories from the Kula recruiting API. It performs no write, execute, destructive, or financial operations. The data returned is informational reference data with no sensitive PII or credentials, making it low-severity even if exposed. Confidence is high because the name and description are explicit about the read-only nature.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_industries' combined with description 'List all available industries' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_industries 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 list_industries. 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.
