career-coach
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of career-coach publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only LinkedIn asks for
LINKEDIN_COOKIE (secret)USER_AGENT
Only career-coach asks for
ADZUNA_APP_IDADZUNA_APP_KEY (secret)USAJOBS_API_KEY (secret)USAJOBS_EMAIL
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
