FoundRole — AI Job Search & Application Tracker MCP for Claude & ChatGPT

Save a job to the tracker

tracker_add

Idempotent

Tracks a job from jobs_search results in the user's job tracker, identified by its job_id. For a job found elsewhere on the open web (with a URL but no jobs_search job_id), tracker_add_external is the right tool instead.

Fields:

job_id: the job ID from jobs_search results (required)
status: initial status (saved, applied, interviewing, offered, archived); defaults to "saved"
sub_status: sub-status within the main status: saved: interested, researching_company, preparing_application, ready_to_apply; applied: application_submitted, followed_up; interviewing: interview_scheduled, phone_screen, technical, onsite, final_round, pending_feedback; offered: negotiating, considering, offer_received, accepted; archived: ghosted, rejected_by_company, withdrawn_by_candidate, not_interested, employed_by_this_company, employed_by_another_company
notes: notes about the job

Returns the tracked job with its details. Repeated saves return the existing tracked job. A job that was previously removed from the tracker is restored with its earlier status and notes.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description reinforces this ('repeated saves return the existing tracked job'). More valuable is the non-obvious disclosure that a previously removed job is restored with its earlier status and notes — a side effect an agent could not infer from annotations. It stops short of covering auth or rate-limit behavior, so not a 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Purpose and the sibling routing rule are front-loaded in the first two sentences, which is the right ordering. The long sub_status enumeration duplicates the schema description nearly verbatim and inflates length, but the field list is otherwise tight and each remaining sentence (idempotency, restore behavior) carries information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, return values need not be explained, and the description still summarizes the return shape. Idempotency, restoration semantics, and the external-tool alternative are all covered, so an agent has enough to call it correctly; only the undocumented result_item_id parameter and lack of permission context leave a small gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is already 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds the default value ('status defaults to "saved"') which the schema does not state, plus an enumeration of valid status values in one place. It omits the schema's result_item_id parameter entirely, keeping it from a 5.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (tracks/saves) and resource (a job from jobs_search results into the user's job tracker), with the identifying key (job_id) named up front. It explicitly differentiates itself from the sibling tracker_add_external, so an agent can route without opening either schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives an explicit when-to-use and when-not-to-use: jobs with a jobs_search job_id go here, while jobs found on the open web (URL, no job_id) must go to tracker_add_external. That is a concrete routing rule to the correct sibling, not just implied context.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
