Check LinkedIn authentication state. Call this before posting tools; if it reports not configured/authenticated it includes exactly what to do next. Job-search tools never need authentication.

Start the LinkedIn OAuth login. Returns an authorization URL — show it to the user and ask them to open it in a browser (it may also open automatically); the local callback completes the flow. Afterwards, call auth_status to confirm.

Delete the stored LinkedIn tokens for this machine.

Get the authenticated user's LinkedIn identity (name, email, person URN). Requires login.

Publish a LinkedIn post as the authenticated user. IMPORTANT: posts are public professional content — confirm the final text with the user before calling this. Hashtags (#likeThis) work in text. Attach at most one of: link (shares a URL; link_title/link_description improve its preview card) or image_path (local file to upload). LinkedIn rejects exact duplicates of recent posts and caps posting at 150/day.

Delete one of the user's own posts. post is a post URN or a linkedin.com post URL.

Comment on a LinkedIn post as the authenticated user. post is a post URN (urn:li:share/ugcPost/activity:…) or a linkedin.com post URL. Confirm wording with the user first — comments are public.

Like a LinkedIn post as the authenticated user. post is a post URN or a linkedin.com post URL.

Search LinkedIn job postings (no login required; the user's account is never involved). location is free text like "Berlin", "India", or "United States"; combine it with workplace="remote" for remote roles. limit max is 50 — keep it modest to avoid IP rate-limiting; on a rate-limit error, wait a minute before retrying. Use get_job with a result's job_id for the full description.

Fetch full details for one job posting: description, seniority, employment type, salary when listed, applicant count, and the external apply URL if the posting is not Easy Apply. job is a job_id from search_jobs, a linkedin.com/jobs/view/... URL, or a jobPosting URN.

Save a job to the user's local application tracker (stores a snapshot of the posting, including its description, so it survives delisting). Idempotent: if already saved, appends the note instead. job is a job_id, URL, or URN.

Get one tracked job with its snapshot (description included) and full event history (status changes and notes).

List the user's tracked jobs with pipeline counts by status. Optionally filter by status and/or a title/company substring.

Move a tracked job through the pipeline (interested → applied → interviewing → offer/rejected/withdrawn; archived hides it). The change is recorded in the job's event history with the optional note.

Append a timestamped note to a tracked job (e.g. recruiter name, interview date, salary discussed) without changing its status.

Remove a job (and its history) from the local tracker. Prefer update_job_status(..., "archived") to keep the record.
