Operator Pass Call

Operator Pass Call — sub-skill

Invokes a specific JMC API tool by slug.

Activation

Loaded by operator-pass when intent is clear:

• "Run the cold-email-linter on "
• "Call evp-generator with "
• "Use the pipeline calculator"

Workflow

1. Validate the API key

if [ -z "${OPERATOR_PASS_API_KEY:-}" ]; then
  echo "OPERATOR_PASS_API_KEY env var is not set."
  echo "Get a key at https://jaymountconsulting.com/operator-pass"
  exit 1
fi

Or via WebFetch validation:

GET https://api.jaymountconsulting.com/v1/me
Headers: Authorization: Bearer $OPERATOR_PASS_API_KEY

Expect 200 with { "user_id", "plan", "rate_limit_remaining" }. If 401/403, exit with the subscribe link.

2. Fetch the tool's input schema

GET https://api.jaymountconsulting.com/v1/tools/<slug>/schema

Returns a JSON Schema describing required inputs. Parse it, compare to what the user supplied, and ask for any missing required fields.

3. Validate inputs against the schema

Walk the schema's required array; ensure each is present in the user's input. Validate types where the schema is strict.

If any required input is missing, ask:

The <tool-slug> tool needs <field> (<type>, <description>). What should I use?

4. Call the API

curl -sS -X POST "https://api.jaymountconsulting.com/v1/tools/<slug>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATOR_PASS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '<inputs JSON>'

5. Handle the response

6. Pretty-print + offer next step

Don't dump raw JSON unless asked. Convert to a human-readable summary:

# <Tool name> result

<one-paragraph summary of what was returned>

## Key findings
<bulleted list>

## Suggested next step
<one specific action — e.g., "Want me to draft the fix?" or "Want to
run the same call with <variation>?">

Common errors + their handling

Discipline

• Never invent tool results. If the API call fails, say so.
• Never call the API anonymously — always require a key.
• Never retry on 401/402 — those need user action.
• Always show the raw JSON if the user asks (--raw flag style).
