Accept an employer's invitation to a job (INVITED -> APPLIED). Idempotent — accepting an already-accepted invite succeeds. Returns NOT_INVITED when there is no open invitation (e.g. already withdrawn/declined), and NOT_FOUND when the job/invite is not found or the job is no longer public.

Apply the candidate to a PUBLISHED job, reusing their evaluated profile interview as evidence. Idempotent (re-applying succeeds; `reused` is true when an application row already existed). Requires a completed + evaluated interview — otherwise returns GATE_LOCKED / GATE_EVALUATING / GATE_FAILED. A missing or non-public job returns NOT_FOUND.

Decline an employer's invitation to a job (INVITED -> DECLINED). TERMINAL — a declined invite blocks any re-invite from the employer, so only decline when the candidate is sure. Idempotent (declining again succeeds). Returns NOT_INVITED when there is no open invitation, NOT_FOUND when the job/invite is not found.

List the candidate's own job applications (newest first) with status, dates, the originating interview score, and a job summary. Returns only the caller's applications — no jobId input, so it is not an enumeration surface.

Fetch a single published job by id.

List the candidate's saved (bookmarked) jobs, newest first. Only currently PUBLISHED jobs are returned — a job saved earlier then closed/archived is omitted.

Semantically rank published jobs against the authenticated candidate profile (embedding-based fit). Optional tier (best|good|weak) narrows to a match-quality band — start with tier:'best' for the strongest fits and cascade only if needed; omit for the full ranked list (read tierCounts for the band sizes). Each scored row carries matchExplanation (the white-box 'why': fit score, the candidate's skills that match the job's required set, and a rationale). A free-text `q`, or a candidate who has not completed an interview yet, instead browses published jobs by recency — those rows carry NO fit score (`matchScore` is `null`, no bands); treat them as a browse list, not a ranking.

Set whether a PUBLISHED job is in the candidate's saved list (idempotent desired-state, NOT a toggle — pass saved:true to bookmark, saved:false to remove). Returns NOT_FOUND for a missing or non-public job.

Withdraw the candidate's active application to a job (APPLIED -> WITHDRAWN). Idempotent (withdrawing again succeeds). Returns NOT_APPLIED when there is no active application (e.g. only an open invitation, or already declined), and NOT_FOUND when no application exists for the job.

Transition a CLOSED job to ARCHIVED. Returns NOT_FOUND for missing or non-owner jobs and CONFLICT when the job is not in CLOSED.

Cancel a pending invitation sent to a candidate. The invitation record is deleted; the employer can re-invite the same candidate later.

Transition a PUBLISHED job to CLOSED. Returns NOT_FOUND for missing or non-owner jobs and CONFLICT when the job is not in PUBLISHED.

Parse raw text via Gemini AI and create a DRAFT job under the current employer. Synchronous: latency 5-30s. The agent can then call employer.update_job to refine fields and employer.publish_job to make it live.

Permanently delete a DRAFT job that was never published. Returns NOT_FOUND for missing or non-owner jobs and CONFLICT when the job is not in DRAFT.

Full applicant bundle: resume, interview light slice (overallScore + summary + facts), GitHub analysis, LinkedIn analysis. The verbatim transcript is delivered by employer.get_applicant_transcript; the resume's contact fields are blanked unless the application is SHORTLISTED or HIRED.

Verbatim interview transcript for one applicant. Ownership-only gate (same as the UI Download button — no SHORTLISTED/HIRED requirement). Returns an empty array when the source interview never produced turns.

Fetch a discoverable candidate by user id. Returns search-entry shape plus a light interview slice (overallScore + summary + completedAt + evaluatedAt) and `existingApplications`: every JobApplication this candidate has on any of the employer's jobs (all 4 statuses, all 4 job statuses) so the agent can decide whether re-inviting will succeed. Heavy artefacts (transcript, facts, resume, github, linkedin) live behind employer.get_applicant_detail and require an application.

Fetch the interview EVIDENCE (facts proven in the interview + their Q&A, the interview summary, the résumé summary, and GitHub/LinkedIn signals) for ONE candidate AGAINST one of your published jobs — the white-box basis to explain WHY a candidate ranks where they do. Use it AFTER search_candidates_for_job: shortlist with the scorecard, then read the evidence here for the few you care about and write your own comparative review. Returns NOT_FOUND if the job is missing / not yours / not published, or the candidate is not in that job's searchable pool.

Fetch a single employer job record by id. Returns NOT_FOUND for missing jobs and for jobs owned by another employer (no existence leak).

Invite a discoverable candidate to one of the employer's PUBLISHED jobs. Creates a JobApplication with status=INVITED. If a prior WITHDRAWN row exists for this (candidate, job) pair, the row is UPDATEd back to INVITED (re-invite is allowed after the candidate withdrew on their own). INVITED, APPLIED, and DECLINED rows still block with INVITE_BLOCKED: INVITE_NOT_ALLOWED. Inspect `existingApplications` on employer.get_candidate before calling to know which case applies. Returns INVITE_BLOCKED with one of several sub-reasons (JOB_NOT_FOUND, JOB_NOT_PUBLISHED, CANDIDATE_NOT_FOUND, NOT_DISCOVERABLE, INVITE_NOT_ALLOWED) when the invite cannot be created. A missing vacancy and a vacancy owned by another employer both return JOB_NOT_FOUND (you cannot tell them apart — anti-enumeration).

List the live (APPLIED) applicants on one of the employer's jobs. The candidate showcase + interview overallScore/summary are always returned; contact fields are only included when the application is SHORTLISTED or HIRED.

List the pending (INVITED) candidates on one of the employer's jobs — candidates who have been invited but have not yet accepted or declined.

List jobs owned by the current employer account.

Transition a DRAFT job to PUBLISHED. Returns NOT_FOUND for missing or non-owner jobs and CONFLICT when the job is not in DRAFT.

Free-form semantic search across discoverable (interviewed) candidates with no job context. The query is embedded and candidates are ranked by semantic similarity — a preliminary search with no per-vacancy fit score (there is no vacancy to fit). For a scored ranking, use employer.search_candidates_for_job with a job id.

Semantically rank discoverable (interviewed) candidates against one of the employer's own jobs, with a per-candidate fit score AND a white-box explanation. WORKFLOW for finding the best hire: 1) call with tier:'best' to get the strongest candidates (cover the required skills + proven in interview), cascade to tier:'good' then tier:'weak' only if you need more (read tierCounts to decide; paginate within a band via page.hasMore, not page.total); 2) each row carries matchExplanation — the white-box 'why' (the fit score, the skills the candidate PROVED in their interview, what they're missing, and a plain-English rationale) — use it to explain your shortlist on OUR data, not a black box; 3) for the few you shortlist, call employer.get_candidate_evidence(jobId, userId) for the interview facts + Q&A to write a deeper comparative review. Omit tier for the full ranked pool (back-compat). Returns NOT_FOUND when the job is missing / owned by another employer (no existence leak), or NOT_INDEXED / NO_CATEGORIES when the job is not indexed for semantic search yet (re-save / republish, then retry).

Update the employer review state on an application (NEW / REVIEWING / SHORTLISTED / REJECTED / HIRED). SHORTLISTED and HIRED unlock the candidate's direct contact in subsequent list_applicants / get_applicant_detail calls. WITHDRAWN applications surface as CONFLICT.

Update the fields of an existing employer job. Accepts a partial whitelist; rawInput and dataSource are not editable (the wrapper auto-flips dataSource to USER_EDITED on every agent update). Non-owner reads return NOT_FOUND.

Use when someone wants to find work/jobs (candidate) or hire/find candidates (employer) but the authenticated role tools are not usable yet. Explains role-specific onboarding (candidate profile interview, employer key generation), MCP key location, and next steps for both surfaces.
