Tools & capabilities
Freehire tools 32
whoamiReturn the authenticated freehire user (verifies the API key). Call this to confirm auth before other tools.facetsList the market's filter vocabulary: every facet's live values with a vacancy count each, plus the skills list and numeric ranges. Call this FIRST to discover real values for `search` and `market_fit` — do not invent facet values. A filter key the API does not recognise is ignored rather than refused, so a result wrapped as {data, ignored} counted a broader market than the one asked for — retry with the suggested name before quoting any number from it.searchSearch open jobs by keyword with optional facet filters. Each result carries the job's FULL description as markdown alongside title, company, location and public_slug, plus the total match count — so you can screen a whole result set without calling `job` per hit. Use the returned slug with `job`, `apply`, `save`, etc. Two traps worth knowing. Geography (region/country/city) is ONE OR-group: passing region AND country widens rather than narrows, so drop the region to search a single country. And a filter param the API does not recognize is ignored rather than refused — the search still runs, just broader — so when a result carries an `ignored` list, its `total` answers a wider question than the one asked; retry with the suggested name before reporting the number.market_fitScore a skill list against the live open-vacancy market for a filtered role: headline coverage (% of vacancies listing ≥1 skill), must-have skills held, and the missing skills that unlock the most vacancies. Here `skills` is the MEASURED set, not a filter — use facet params to define the role. One skill probes that skill's demand.jobFetch a single job's full content by slug (title, company, location, posting URL, description).companyFetch a company and its open jobs by company slug.applyMark a job as applied for the authenticated user. Idempotent.saveBookmark a job for later. Idempotent.unsaveRemove a job's bookmark. A no-op if it was not saved.stageSet a job's application stage. The server validates the value; valid stages are applied/screening/responded/interview/offer/accepted/rejected/withdrawn.noteAttach a free-text note to a tracked job (overwrites the existing note).myList the caller's tracked jobs (viewed/saved/applied) with their stage and note. Filter narrows the set.- +20 more on the listing page
