Description, as the server wrote it
Attach a markdown company analysis (research you produced) to an application. Single document per application — a new call REPLACES the previous one. Max 100000 bytes (~100 KB) of utf-8. The user reads it in the dashboard, e.g. before an interview. Example: `attach_analysis({application_id: "…", markdown: "# Bosch\n\n## Culture…"})`.

Why it is in this group
- The name "attach_file" says "attach": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Attach or replace a file on an application so the user sees it in the dashboard: a CV/resume (kind: 'cv') or a cover letter (kind: 'cover_letter'). Pass the file bytes as base64 in data_base64. One file per (application, kind) - a new call REPLACES the previous one. Max ~5 MB; pdf/doc/docx/txt/md (MIME is inferred from the filename if you omit it). Call this whenever you generate a tailored CV or cover letter for an application. Example: `attach_file({application_id: "…", kind: "cv", filename: "CV_Cursor.pdf", data_base64: "JVBERi0…"})`.

Max 3 files per interview, 20000000 bytes (20 MB) each; pass the bytes as base64. Get interview ids from get_application. Example: `attach_interview_file({application_id: "…", interview_id: "…", filename: "prep-round2.md", data_base64: "IyBQcmVw…"})`.

Also keeps the application's next-interview date in sync. Example: `log_interview({application_id: "…", scheduled_at: "2026-07-20T14:00:00+02:00", status: "planned", attendees: [{name: "Anna Weber (HR)", url: "https://linkedin.com/in/annaweber"}], links: [{label: "Prep materials", url: "https://company.com/interview-prep"}], recap: "System design round"})`.

Why it is in this group
- The name "get_application" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Full detail of one application: all fields, contacts, recent timeline events, and whether a company analysis is attached (fetch it via the dashboard or attach_analysis to replace).
Annotations the server declares
- title: Get application
- readOnlyHint: true
get_dueWhat is burning today: applications with next_action_due today or overdue.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_due" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
What is burning today: applications with next_action_due today or overdue. Call this when the user asks "what should I do today?" about their job search.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Due actions
- readOnlyHint: true
get_plannedWhat is actually SCHEDULED: interviews with their time, attendees and meeting links, plus the actions falling due, for today, tomorrow, or the next seven days.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_planned" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
What is actually SCHEDULED: interviews with their time, attendees and meeting links, plus the actions falling due, for today, tomorrow, or the next seven days. Use this whenever the user asks what is planned, what the day or week looks like, or before proposing a time to anyone — get_due only knows action deadlines and is blind to booked interviews. Example: `get_planned({range: "tomorrow"})`.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Planned schedule
- readOnlyHint: true

Why it is in this group
- The name "list_applications" says "list": a word for reading.

Annotations the server declares
- title: List applications
- readOnlyHint: true

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Anlyon alternative

7 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
