Add a person, company, supplier or solicitor, with a source of enquiry, categories and a first note.

VaultRE API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/vaultre.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/vaultre/contacts`

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

Does what Contacts > Add Contact Wizard does. A person needs first_name, last_name and a way to reach them; a company uses company_name instead of a person name. A contact's email addresses can be included in your Vault eMarketing, so check with search_contacts first and confirm. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

| `type` | enum | yes | person, company, creditor_supplier or solicitor. |
| `first_name` | string | no | First name (not for company). |
| `last_name` | string | no | Surname (not for company). |
| `company_name` | string | no | Company name. |

## 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.
