    search_open_to_workSearch FreeCV's LIVE index of real people who are open to work — by skills, role/title, location, and recruiter facets (work type, employment type, visa sponsorship, languages, minimum experience). Returns lean candidate cards (name, current role @ company, location, top skills, languages, and the full availability preferences) plus each person's cv.json URL and portfolio URL — enough to shortlist WITHOUT a fetch_cv per candidate. Call fetch_cv on a result to read the complete structured CV. Only already-public profiles are indexed; contact details are never returned (reach candidates via their portfolio).
    fetch_cvFetch a person's cv.json — their full machine-readable CV — by FreeCV slug or livelink.cv URL. Returns structured JSON: basics, work, education, skills, languages, availability, ats, verification, i18n.
    validate_cvValidate a cv.json document against the official cv.json schema. Provide the document (cvjson, object or JSON string) OR a slug/url to fetch and validate. Returns { valid, errors[] }.
    get_cvjson_schemaReturn the official cv.json JSON Schema (the format spec) — use it to understand or generate a compliant cv.json.
