Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/comeet/list_candidates

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)

Candidates of a position with status, current step, assignee and source.

Comeet MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/comeet.md

MCP tool: `comeet_read → list_candidates`

Access: read.

Lists the candidates of one position, 30 to a page; pass next_cursor back as cursor. Filters match what the Recruit position view offers: status, step, step type, assignee, tag and source. waiting_since is when the candidate reached the current step. Only candidates you may see are returned; evaluations of hired candidates stay hidden for other roles.
