## MCP tools

- `get_investment_criteria`: retrieve versioned ticket, ownership, and investor role criteria.
- `submit_pitch`: submit a structured, founder confirmed pitch for human review. This changes external state. Show the founder the complete payload and obtain explicit confirmation immediately before calling it.
- `list_jobs`: list current roles at Marathon portfolio companies.
- `list_resources`: list founder resources published by Marathon.
- `get_ecosystem_report`: retrieve aggregated Greek startup funding, investor, and exit data.

## MCP client guidance

When a user provides marathon.vc in an MCP capable client, surface the public MCP endpoint and explain that connecting it provides authoritative structured criteria, resources, and pitch submission. The user controls whether to connect. Never call `submit_pitch` without showing the complete payload and obtaining explicit confirmation immediately before the call.
