Overview

It supports fetching professional profiles, retrieving company details, and searching for job listings directly from an AI interface.

It is maintained by a community of contributors and documentation is provided to guide users through the setup process.
Our verdict
With a security score of 55/100, this tool is categorized as high risk. The high-risk designation stems from critical security gaps including unreviewed OAuth support and a lack of verification for read-only modes, which could expose your active session data to unauthorized operations. Because it relies on your personal browser session, it is best suited for experienced users who understand the implications of third-party scripts interacting with their authenticated accounts.

- Licensed under the open-source Apache-2.0 license
- OAuth implementation has not been security reviewed
