Tool Coverage Manifest

Total API Coverage

  • Total Greenhouse Harvest API endpoints: ~150
  • Tools implemented: 20
  • Intentionally skipped: 130
  • Coverage: 20/150 = 13%

Implemented Tools

Category Tools Count
Candidates list, get, create, update, create_note 5
Applications list, get, advance, reject 4
Jobs list, get, create, update 4
Interviews list, get, list_scheduled 3
Scorecards list, get, create 3
Offers list, get 2
Organization list_departments, list_offices, list_sources, list_rejection_reasons, list_job_stages, list_custom_fields 6
Users list, get 2

Total: 29 tools across 8 categories

Skipped Endpoints (Rationale)

  • Job Posts (6 endpoints): Covered by job management tools, posts are auto-created with jobs
  • Email Templates (4 endpoints): Admin configuration, rarely needed in AI workflows
  • Approvals (5 endpoints): Complex approval flow management better suited for UI
  • EEOC (3 endpoints): Compliance data requiring special handling
  • Activity Feed (10+ endpoints): Duplicates data available in primary resources
  • Webhooks (8 endpoints): Admin configuration, not suitable for MCP tool calls
  • Attachments (4 endpoints): Complex binary handling, requires special transport
  • Tags (4 endpoints): Low-value metadata, rarely used
  • Other low-use administrative endpoints

Coverage Goals

Current implementation focuses on Tier 1 (daily recruiting workflows):

  • Reviewing candidates and applications
  • Advancing candidates through pipeline
  • Scheduling and evaluating interviews
  • Managing job postings
  • Accessing organizational data

Future expansion could add Tier 2 tools for power users:

  • Bulk operations
  • Advanced reporting
  • Candidate pool management
  • Offer approval workflows
