Parse a CV from a PDF or markdown file path. First CV becomes active automatically.
AI agents call parse_cv_tool to retrieve information from Interview Prep without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and parses a file from the local filesystem (PDF or markdown). It is a read/extract operation with no data modification. The medium severity reflects that it accesses potentially sensitive personal data from CV files on the local filesystem, and a misconfigured path could expose unintended files.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Parse a CV from a PDF or markdown file path. First CV becomes active automatically. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Interview Prep MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Interview Prep MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for parse_cv_tool: 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 Interview Prep. Nothing to install.
parse_cv_tool 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 parse_cv_tool 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 parse_cv_tool. 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.
parse_cv_tool is provided by the Interview Prep MCP server (shenmali/interview-mcp-first). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
parse_cv_tool is one line of Interview Prep's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
