WHAT IT DOES

What candidate.reject does on Visionmcp

AI agents use candidate.reject to create or update resources in Visionmcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Visionmcp environment.

RISK

Why candidate.reject is rated Medium

The tool modifies the state of a candidate entity (marking it as rejected) via a named transition receipt. Since the description explicitly says 'recoverable,' this is not irreversible/destructive. It is a state change (Write), not a deletion. Misuse could incorrectly reject valid candidates, but the recoverable nature limits blast radius to medium.

From the tool's definition 'Reject a recoverable candidate with a named transition receipt' — 'recoverable' implies the action is reversible; it changes the state of a candidate record.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs candidate.reject safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Visionmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For candidate.reject, this is the rule to start with:

candidate.reject Rate-limited

candidate.reject stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

How do I enforce a policy on candidate.reject? +

Register the Vision MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for candidate.reject: 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 Visionmcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is candidate.reject? +

candidate.reject is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit candidate.reject? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the candidate.reject 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.

How do I block candidate.reject completely? +
