Update application status
Move a job application to another status of its workflow.
MCP tool jobadder_write → update_application_status
write Confirm
Sets the status of one application and returns the old and the new status. In JobAdder a status update can trigger actions, such as an automatic reply to the applicant, depending on how your account is set up. A status the job's workflow does not have fails with an error. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |

| application_id string required | string | Application id from list_job_applications. |
| status string required | string | Status name as shown in your JobAdder workflow, including a custom rejection status. |
