The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
analyze_job_description Extract structured requirements from a job description ~63
Parse a job posting into structured data: title, company, seniority, industry, must-have keywords, nice-to-have keywords, and key responsibilities. Feed the result into optimize_resume to find keyword gaps.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| jdText | string | yes | The full job description text. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
ats_check Check a resume against ATS rules ~91
Score resume text for applicant tracking system (ATS) compatibility. Returns a 0-100 score, a recruiter take, prioritized issues with concrete fixes, and detected strengths. Use for "is my resume ATS friendly", "why am I not getting interviews", or before tailoring to a specific job.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| resumeText | string | yes | Full plain-text resume. Use extract_resume_text first if you only have a file. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
extract_resume_text Extract plain text from a local resume file ~135
Read a local PDF/DOC/DOCX/TXT resume and return its plain text, optionally also parsing it into structured JSON (name, experience, education, skills). Text extraction is unlimited; set structured=true only when the structured form is needed, since that path uses a daily AI credit. Scanned/image-only PDFs will fail — ask the user to paste the text instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filePath | string | yes | Path to the resume file on this machine (absolute, or relative to the CWD). |
| structured | boolean | – | Also return AI-parsed structured resume JSON. Costs one daily AI credit. Defaults to false. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
optimize_resume Get targeted resume improvement suggestions ~139
Return prioritized, rewrite-level suggestions for a resume, optionally aimed at a specific role or job description. Each suggestion has a type, priority, tip, and an example rewrite. Pass missingMustHave / missingNiceToHave from analyze_job_description to close keyword gaps.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| jdText | string | – | Target job description, for role-specific suggestions. |
| jobTitle | string | – | Target job title, e.g. "Senior Backend Engineer". |
| missingMustHave | array | – | Required keywords the resume is missing. |
| missingNiceToHave | array | – | Preferred keywords the resume is missing. |
| resumeText | string | yes | Full plain-text resume. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
roast_resume Get a blunt recruiter-style critique of a resume ~75
Run the MatchCV "resume roast": a brutally honest recruiter reaction plus an ATS score. Returns a public shareable report URL. Use when the user wants candid feedback rather than a polite checklist.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| jobTitle | string | – | Target job title to judge the resume against. |
| resumeText | string | yes | Full plain-text resume. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
tailor_resume Generate a resume tailored to a specific job ~171
The full MatchCV pipeline: analyze the job description, structure the resume, then rewrite it for that role with must-have keywords worked in and bullets rewritten. Returns the tailored resume JSON, an ATS score, and a public preview link the user can open and download as PDF. This is the heaviest tool — it uses one generation credit plus the parse and JD-analysis credits, so run it once the user has settled on a target job.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| jdText | string | yes | The target job description. |
| resumeText | string | yes | The candidate's current resume as plain text. |
| targetLanguage | string | – | "en" forces English output; "original" (default) keeps the resume's own language. |
| templateId | string | – | Resume template for the preview page. Defaults to classic-ats. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
