## Quality 86/100 (good)

### protocol: 88 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- warn `protocol.list_ttl`: tools/list declares ttlMs 0, so clients re-fetch it on every use

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 79 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- warn `tools.description_length`: 1 tools have descriptions over 1,024 characters, which crowds the context
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- pass `tools.annotations`: 9 of 9 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: search_jobs (idempotentHint); get_job_comments (idempotentHint); search_locations (idempotentHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 2,374 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: 4 tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: deps.dev does not know jobyap-mcp@1.1.0

- tools: 9, about 2,374 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 775c5adedd0ed8f74e2919210f48731f
- tools last changed: 2026-09-30T22:51:24.382Z
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.jobyap/jobs.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.jobyap/jobs)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-09-30 `search_locations` changed (description)
  - before: Resolve a free-text place name ("bay area", "Germany", "berlin") to the location identifiers search_jobs accepts (country-XX, state-XX-YY, city-XX-YY-name). Searches every place JobYap knows, not only those with current openings, so an identifier may match no jobs. City display omits the state, and the list can be shorter than limit.
  - after: Resolve a free-text place name ("toronto", "Japan", "Texas") to the location identifiers search_jobs accepts (country-XX, state-XX-YY, city-XX-YY-name). Searches every place JobYap knows, not only those with current openings, so an identifier may match no jobs. City display omits the state, and the list can be shorter than limit.
- 2026-09-30 `match_jobs` changed (description)
  - before: Shortlist, screen and rank live postings for one candidate in a single call. Filters active jobs by title terms (any of them; a term matches when the title holds all its words), excluded title terms, companies, locations and posting window, then takes the newest 300 of that pool (pool_total says how many matched) and reads each full description. It drops postings with no usable description, postings whose stated minimum years of experience exceed candidate_years by more than 1, and, with needs_sponsorship, postings that refuse sponsorship or require citizenship or a clearance; dropped counts each reason. The rest are ranked by how many skills appear in the description, then newest first. Each result carries skills_matched, years_bar, flags and up to 6 requirement sentences. The screening is heuristic: read finalists in full with get_job.
  - after: Find and rank the best live postings for one specific candidate, such as someone who shared a resume or described their experience, skills or visa needs. Slow: it reads each posting's full description, so a call can take 10 to 15 seconds. For browsing, listing or counting postings, use search_jobs, which answers in under a second.

- 2026-09-30 `search_jobs` changed (description)
  - before: Search JobYap's aggregated job postings with structured filters. The text query matches job titles only (case-insensitive substring) — try synonyms or shorter tokens when results are thin. Company names must exactly match values from list_companies; locations must be identifiers from search_locations. work_mode matches jobs explicitly marked remote or hybrid (unmarked means unstated, not onsite). Results are active listings, newest first by default; sort=popular ranks by discussion activity. To paginate, pass next_cursor back as cursor and keep every other argument identical.

## Tools (9)

- `fetch`: Retrieve the full JobYap document for a search result id: the complete posting as markdown (description, salary, locations, apply link) plus top community comments, with a citable URL.
- `get_job`: Fetch one job posting in full: markdown description, salary ranges, locations with work mode, derived employment types, apply URL, posting dates and the canonical JobYap discussion URL. Works for expired jobs too (apply_url is null once inactive).
- `get_job_comments`: Fetch the community discussion thread for a job: chronological, threaded via parent_id, with like counts. Comments are user-generated content. Threads stay open after a job expires.
- `get_job_stats`: Aggregate stats: companies tracked, active job count, and the newest posting date.
- `list_companies`: List every company JobYap tracks with its active job count and JobYap company-page URL. Use the exact names as search_jobs company filters.
- `match_jobs`: Find and rank the best live postings for one specific candidate, such as someone who shared a resume or described their experience, skills or visa needs. Slow: it reads each posting's full description, so a call can take 10 to 15 seconds. For browsing, listing or counting postings, use search_jobs, which answers in under a second.

- `search`: Search JobYap job postings by natural-language query. Matches job titles, falling back to significant keywords when the full phrase finds little. Returns result ids, titles and citable URLs for use with fetch. For structured filtering (location, company, remote, freshness) prefer search_jobs.
