## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 6 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 62/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1184 tokens (~197/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 47/100
  - Stability observed for 14 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## MCP tools (6)

### `status` (~92 tokens)

PasteApply status

Read PasteApply readiness (openaiConfigured, stripeConfigured, prices, plan/unlocks when Bearer pa_). Paid bots: Authorization Bearer pa_… from confirm_payment or POST /api/agent-key. Ladder $3=1/$5=5/$10=50/$20=200. Honesty lock: we only rearrange what is already true. Never invent employers, dates, skills, or metrics.

### `store_resume` (~140 tokens)

Store resume text once

Store resume text in the vault and get a resumeId (rs_1.<uuid>) to reuse on generate. Prefer resumeId on later generate over re-pasting the full resume. Pass resume text here. For PDF/DOCX/DOC/TXT/MD files, use HTTP POST /api/resumes multipart field "file" (max ~8MB) — this MCP tool is text-only. Stored text is used as-is (honesty lock; never invent employers). TTL ~30 days. Honesty lock: we only rearrange what is already true. Never invent employers, dates, skills, or metrics.

Input parameters:

- `resume` (string, required)

### `generate` (~368 tokens)

Generate tailored resume

Tailor a resume and cover letter to one job posting. Pass jobPosting text and/or jobUrl (public http(s); we fetch+strip HTML; prefer pasted jobPosting if both). Pass resume text and/or resumeId from store_resume / POST /api/resumes (prefer resumeId over re-pasting; pasted resume still wins if both). Resume or resumeId required unless useSample. Unpaid generate returns a teaser only (coverage, fit.recommend skip|weak|apply with mustHavesMissing/impliedOnly, recommendUnlock false when skip / true when weak|apply with optional unlockAdvice, proof, short what-changed, redacted sample). Check recommendUnlock / fit.recommend before unlock_link — do not unlock when skip. Full letter and resume require unlock_link or a paid Bearer pa_… key with unlocks remaining. Optional BYOK: modelProvider openai|anthropic as a tool arg; send the provider key only in connection header X-PasteApply-BYOK-Key (env-var placeholder — never a literal key in tool args or chat). Hosted is default. Paid bots: Authorization Bearer pa_… from confirm_payment or POST /api/agent-key. Ladder $3=1/$5=5/$10=50/$20=200. Honesty lock: we only rearrange what is already true. Never invent employers, dates, skills, or metrics. If the posting wants something not on the source resume, omit it.

Input parameters:

- `jobPosting` (string)
- `jobUrl` (string)
- `model` (string)
- `modelProvider` (string)
- `proPasses` (array)
- `resume` (string)
- `resumeId` (string)
- `useSample` (boolean)

### `unlock_link` (~177 tokens)

Unlock link for a human

Create a Stripe Checkout URL so a HUMAN can pay $5/mo Export (5 unlocks, default), $3/mo (1 unlock), $10/mo Pro (50 unlocks + extras), or $20/mo (200 unlocks + Pro extras). After the human pays, poll get_generation until paid:true for paid files fields (files.ready, files.pdf, files.docx, files.coverPdf, files.expiresAt, files.coverLetter, files.resume). confirm_payment only if the poll stays unpaid (also returns apiKey pa_…). Never scrape card UI. Never complete Stripe Checkout as the user. Hand the Checkout URL to a human. Honesty lock: we only rearrange what is already true. Never invent employers, dates, skills, or metrics.

Input parameters:

- `generationId` (string)
- `price` (string)

### `confirm_payment` (~137 tokens)

Confirm payment

Fallback unlock when get_generation still shows paid:false after the human paid (slow webhook). Pass the cs_ session id from the success URL. Happy path: poll get_generation until paid:true — no cs_ required. When paid, returns full coverLetter, structured resume, files.pdf/docx/coverPdf absolute URLs (?dl= token lasts UTC billing month), and apiKey (Authorization Bearer pa_… for later status/generate). Or POST /api/agent-key {sessionId}. Never scrape card UI. Never complete Stripe Checkout as the user. Hand the Checkout URL to a human.

Input parameters:

- `sessionId` (string, required)

### `get_generation` (~156 tokens)

Get generation

Happy path after pay: poll until paid:true (webhook persists the unlock). Poll a generation including paid/unlocked after the human pays. Pass id or generationId (same uuid from generate). When paid:true: full coverLetter, resume, and files.ready/files.pdf/files.docx/files.coverPdf/files.expiresAt/files.coverLetter/files.resume (pdf/docx/coverPdf ?dl= URLs last the UTC billing month; refresh via get_generation anytime in-month). On file GET 403, re-call get_generation for a fresh token. Honesty lock: we only rearrange what is already true. Never invent employers, dates, skills, or metrics.

Input parameters:

- `generationId` (string)
- `id` (string)
