Tools

analyze_resume

Comprehensive resume analysis. Returns an overall score (0-100) with breakdowns for ATS compatibility, keyword density, action verb usage, quantified achievements, section completeness (contact, summary, experience, education, skills), formatting issues, and length assessment.

{
  "resume_text": "John Doe\[email protected]\n555-123-4567\n\nProfessional Summary\n...\n\nExperience\n...",
  "job_description": "We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years..."
}

optimize_for_job

Match a resume against a specific job description. Identifies matching keywords, finds missing keywords, suggests bullet point rewrites, calculates a match score (0-100), highlights transferable skills, and provides gap analysis.

{
  "resume_text": "Full resume text...",
  "job_description": "Full job description text..."
}

generate_summary

Generate 2-3 sentence professional summary options from resume text. Produces three variants -- confident, technical, and leadership-focused -- tailored to the detected career level (entry/mid/senior/executive).

{
  "resume_text": "Full resume text...",
  "target_role": "Engineering Manager"
}

improve_bullets

Analyze bullet points and suggest rewrites with stronger action verbs, quantification, and STAR method format. Returns before/after comparisons with per-bullet scores.

{
  "bullets": [
    "Responsible for managing a team of developers",
    "Improved system performance by 40% through database optimization",
    "Worked on various projects"
  ],
  "context": "software engineering"
}

check_ats

Deep ATS (Applicant Tracking System) compatibility check. Validates formatting, section headers, contact info parsing, keyword stuffing detection, and provides file format advice. Returns categorized issues with fix suggestions.

{
  "resume_text": "Full resume text..."
