Save a job from another site to the tracker
tracker_add_externalSaves a job posting found anywhere on the open web into the user's tracker. For jobs that came from jobs_search results, tracker_add (which takes a job_id) is the right tool instead. A job seen elsewhere in the conversation needs no prior jobs_search call — its URL and details from the conversation are sufficient input.
url, company_name, title_name, location_name, and description identify the posting
and are the only required fields. Every structured fact field (salary, dates, employment type,
education, experience) is optional: a fact the source does not state is simply omitted (or
null), and FoundRole's own extractors derive missing salary, employment, work-arrangement,
education, experience, skills, benefits, and bonuses from the description. A save never waits
on facts the source did not provide. The optional client_extraction object carries
evidence-backed skills, technology, benefits, bonuses, seniority, industry, management,
clearance, visa, and remote-scope labels when source excerpts for them exist; FoundRole
validates and stores those labels separately.
