Execution Guarantees
- No side effects
- No persistent storage
- Safe for repeated execution
- Deterministic given identical upstream data
- No authentication required
Error Behavior
- Network issues may raise runtime errors or result in empty output
- Invalid flags produce CLI usage errors
- Zero matching jobs produces valid empty result output
Environment Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- Internet access
- Supported on macOS, Linux, Windows
Agent-Oriented Use Cases
- Daily polling for new internship postings
- Weekly new‑grad job aggregation
- Feeding results into ranking, scoring, or alerting agents
- Execution via cron, CI pipelines, or autonomous agents
Known Limitations
- No built‑in alerting
- No local caching
- No deduplication beyond source data
- No JSON output format
Safety & Compliance
- Uses only public data
- No user tracking
- No credential usage
- No scraping of private systems
Versioning
Behavior may evolve with upstream data sources. CLI flags are considered stable within a major version.
