Get details for a specific candidate by ID.
AI agents call get_candidate to retrieve information from Bullhorn CRM MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves candidate information from the CRM by ID lookup. It performs a read-only query with no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no financial implications. The natural language query interface and OAuth authentication further confirm this is a controlled data access tool, not an autonomous action tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_candidate' and description 'Get details for a specific candidate by ID' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get details for a specific candidate by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bullhorn CRM MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Bullhorn CRM MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_candidate: 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 Bullhorn CRM MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_candidate 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_candidate 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_candidate. 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_candidate is provided by the Bullhorn CRM MCP Server MCP server (osherai/bullhorn-mcp-python). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
