Return top N jobs by stack-match score across all stored jobs.
AI agents call get_top_matches to retrieve information from Local Tech Digest without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and filters existing job data to compute and return ranked results. This is a standard read operation that retrieves information without side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial/destructive actions are performed. Severity is low because misuse would only expose already-stored job information.
From the tool's definition Tool returns/retrieves job matches by applying a scoring algorithm to stored data. The verb 'Return' and the read-only nature of 'match score' calculations indicate data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.

Return top N jobs by stack-match score across all stored jobs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Local Tech Digest MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Local Tech Digest MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_top_matches: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Local Tech Digest. Nothing to install.
get_top_matches 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 get_top_matches 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 get_top_matches. 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.
get_top_matches is provided by the Local Tech Digest MCP server (nk1947-sudo/local-tech-digest-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
