    Server tool list (6)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    statusRead 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_resumeStore 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.
    generateTailor 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, proof, short what-changed, redacted sample). 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.
    unlock_linkCreate 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.
    confirm_paymentFallback 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.
    get_generationHappy 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.
