note: >-
  Wellfound publishes no API versioning policy, no deprecation policy and no API changelog.
  What it does publish is an operational status page. Everything below that is recorded as
  absent was probed for and missed.

  note: >-
    The component list is product- and infrastructure-shaped (application, background jobs,
    Elasticsearch, plus mirrored Cloudflare / AWS / SendGrid / Iterable vendor status). No
    component names either MCP server, so an agent depending on wellfound.com/api/mcp or
    reach.wellfound.com/mcp has no status signal specific to the surface it calls.

versioning:
  scheme: none published
  api_version_in_path: false
  api_version_header: null
  evidence: >-
    Neither MCP endpoint carries a version segment (https://wellfound.com/api/mcp,
    https://reach.wellfound.com/mcp) and neither returns a version header on the 401. The
    MCP protocol version is negotiated in initialize, which is OAuth-gated, so the supported
    protocol revisions could not be observed.
  legacy_note: >-
    A versioned REST surface once existed - the OAuth authorization server still mints
    AngelList-era scopes (message, dealflow, comment, invest, accreditation) - but
    https://api.angel.co/, https://wellfound.com/api/1/ and https://wellfound.com/api/1/me
    all return 404. The API was retired without a published sunset notice; the scopes it
    used are still advertised in
    https://wellfound.com/.well-known/openid-configuration today.

deprecation_policy:
  published: false
  sunset_header: not observed
  deprecation_header: not observed
  rfc8594: false
  evidence: >-
    No deprecation, sunset or versioning policy page exists on wellfound.com,
    help.wellfound.com or reach.wellfound.com. /changelog is 404. The retirement of the
    AngelList v1 REST API (above) is the concrete case: the endpoints are gone and no notice
    remains reachable.

sla:
  published: false
  evidence: >-
    https://wellfound.com/terms (200) is a consumer/customer terms of service; no API-specific
    SLA, uptime commitment or support-response commitment was found. The Scale tier at
    https://wellfound.com/recruit/pricing is custom-priced and may carry one contractually,
    but nothing is published.

deprecated_operations: []
deprecated_operations_note: no OpenAPI exists to derive deprecated operations from, and the
  MCP tool lists are OAuth-gated.
