Getting an access-token
AI agents call authorize to retrieve information from HeadHunter API MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though authorize only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Getting an access-token. It is categorised as a Read tool in the HeadHunter API MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the HeadHunter API MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for authorize: 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 HeadHunter API MCP Server. Nothing to install.
authorize 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 authorize 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 authorize. 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.
authorize is provided by the HeadHunter API MCP Server MCP server (sargonpiraev/hh-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
authorize is one line of HeadHunter API MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
