Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Post a comment on a candidate profile and tag teammates with @.

Comeet API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/comeet.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/comeet/candidates/{candidate_id}/comments`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Posts one comment on the activity log. Type @ and a teammate's name in the body to tag them; every tagged teammate gets an email with the thread. visibility is one of position_access, hiring_leadership, position_recruiters or only_me, and the teammates you can tag are limited to those who may see the discussion. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `candidate_id` | string | yes | Candidate from list_candidates. |
| `body` | string | yes | Comment text, with @ and a name to tag. |
| `visibility` | enum | no | position_access (default), hiring_leadership, position_recruiters or only_me. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
