Create candidate
A new candidate profile with name, contact details and current position.
MCP tool manatal_write → create_candidate
write Confirm
Creates a profile in your candidate database and returns its candidate_id. It does not upload a resume and does not merge with an existing profile: check search_candidates first, and Manatal's Duplicates list under Candidates shows a repeat. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

| email string | string | Email address. |
| phone string | string | Phone number. |
| current_position string | string | Current job title. |
