Tool Coverage Manifest

Total API Coverage

  • Total Lever API endpoints: ~80
  • Tools implemented: 22
  • Intentionally skipped: 58
  • Coverage: 22/80 = 27.5%

Implemented Tools

Category Tools Count
Opportunities list, get, create, search, archive, list_notes, add_source 7
Postings list, get, create, list_applicants, get_stats 5
Feedback list, get, create 3
Offers list, get, create, list_versions 4
Users list, get 2
Stages list, get 2
Tags list, add 2
Sources list 1

Total: 26 tools across 8 categories

Skipped Endpoints (Rationale)

  • Archive Reasons (2 endpoints): Configuration data, rarely changed
  • Interviews (6 endpoints): Complex scheduling, better suited for UI
  • Panels (4 endpoints): Interview panel management, low-use
  • Requisitions (5 endpoints): Enterprise-only feature
  • Referrals (4 endpoints): Specific workflow, niche use case
  • Webhooks (8 endpoints): Admin configuration, not suitable for MCP
  • Files/Attachments (6 endpoints): Binary handling requires special transport
  • Bulk Operations (4 endpoints): High-risk, better suited for admin tools
  • Advanced Reporting (10+ endpoints): Complex analytics better in UI
  • Other low-use administrative endpoints

Coverage Goals

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

  • Managing candidates and opportunities
  • Reviewing and creating feedback
  • Posting jobs and tracking applicants
  • Extending offers
  • Pipeline management

Future expansion could add Tier 2 tools for power users:

  • Interview scheduling and panel management
  • Bulk operations
  • Advanced reporting and analytics
  • Requisition approval workflows
