Adds a note to a candidate's profile.

Lever MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/lever.md

MCP tool: `lever_write → add_note`

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

Saves the note on the opportunity and returns the users it mentioned. Lever emails every mentioned user and they cannot switch that off. A secret note is visible only to users with Sensitive Information Privileges and to those mentioned. A name that is not a Lever user fails and nothing is saved. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `opportunity_id` | string | yes | Opportunity ID from list_opportunities. |
| `text` | string | yes | Note text. Write @name to mention a Lever user. |
| `secret` | boolean | no | true makes it a secret note. Default: false. |
| `notify_followers` | boolean | no | true alerts the followers of the opportunity. Default: false. |

## 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.
