Add candidate note
A note on a candidate profile, optionally tagging team members.
MCP tool manatal_write → add_candidate_note
write Confirm
Adds a note to the candidate's Notes tab as plain text and returns its note_id. Each name in mentions is tagged like @ in the Manatal editor and Manatal notifies that person. A name that matches no team member fails before anything is saved. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| candidate_id integer required | integer | Candidate ID from search_candidates. |
| body string required | string | Text of the note. |
| mentions array | array | Names of team members to tag, as Manatal shows them. |
