Careermax

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

Careermax appears purpose-aligned for job-search assistance, but it uses your Careermax API key and an external npx MCP toolkit to access and update career-related account data.

This skill is coherent for Careermax job-search workflows. Before installing, make sure you trust the Careermax npx toolkit, protect the CAREERMAX_API_KEY, and review confirmations before allowing any account changes or credit-consuming AI actions.

Findings (4)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Anyone using this skill should treat the API key like a password for their Careermax account data and actions.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a Careermax API key as its primary credential, which is expected for accessing a Careermax account but still grants delegated account access.

Skill content
requires:\n      env:\n        - CAREERMAX_API_KEY\n    primaryEnv: CAREERMAX_API_KEY
Recommendation

Use a Careermax API key with the minimum permissions available, keep it out of shared logs or prompts, and revoke it if you stop using the skill.

What this means

The assistant can help change job-application records, so an accidental confirmation could alter account data.

Why it was flagged

The skill can modify Careermax job-tracking data, but the artifact says write operations use a preview/confirm flow.

Skill content
jobs_add — Add a new job (preview/confirm)\njobs_update — Update status, notes, or other fields (preview/confirm)
Recommendation

Review previews carefully before confirming job updates or other write operations.

What this means

The code actually run by npx comes from the external package source, not from files included in this artifact.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on an external npm package invoked through npx, and the usage example does not pin a package version.

Skill content
npx @careermax/agent-toolkit mcp
Recommendation

Install only if you trust the Careermax package source, and consider pinning or verifying the package version in controlled environments.

What this means

Sensitive career information may be sent to and processed by Careermax services as part of normal use.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses that resume, job, interview, referral, and learning-plan workflows are processed by Careermax's backend rather than remaining only in the local chat.

Skill content
All AI processing happens server-side on the same backend as the Careermax web app.
Recommendation

Use the skill only for data you are comfortable storing or processing in Careermax, and review Careermax's privacy and retention settings if relevant.
