List candidates

list_candidates
Read-onlyIdempotent

[Candidates] List the merchant's candidates.

Paginated list of a merchant's candidates (the admin-portal candidates list), scoped to your token's merchant (or a merchant_id override). Capped at 1000 records per page.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tabNoFilter candidates by recent activity. Omit (or empty) to include all.
limitNoMaximum number of records to return (1–1000).
offsetNoNumber of records to skip from the start of the result set.
sourceNoFilter by how the candidate entered: invited or self-registered. Omit for both.
order_byNoSort order of the result set.created_at_newest
filter_textNoCase-insensitive search on candidate name or email.
merchant_idNoOptional merchant to scope to. Admins and sub-merchant operators only; other callers always use their token's merchant.
filter_emojiNoFilter by the candidate emoji marker.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful behavioral details: pagination with a 1000-record cap, scoping to merchant, and optional merchant_id override. No contradictions with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise with three short sentences, no redundant information. It is front-loaded with the core purpose. Could be slightly more structured, but no wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers the tool's behavior (pagination, scoping, cap). It could mention filtering options, but the schema handles that. Completeness is sufficient for an AI agent.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema descriptions cover all 8 parameters (100% coverage), so the description's contribution is minimal. It mentions pagination cap but does not explain individual parameters beyond what the schema provides. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool lists the merchant's candidates, with pagination and scoping to the token's merchant or an override. The verb 'list' and resource 'candidates' are explicit, and there is no sibling tool with a similar purpose to cause confusion.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context on when to use the tool (listing candidates) and constraints like scoping and pagination limits. However, it does not explicitly state alternatives or when not to use it, though no direct alternatives exist among siblings.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target distinct resources and actions, with clear category prefixes like [Interviews], [Results], and [Admin]. A few pairs could be confused—create_interview vs. create_interview_from_questions and update_interview vs. set_interview_state—but the descriptions do enough to separate them.

Naming Consistency4/5

The overwhelming majority follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: create_*, get_*, list_*, update_*, generate_*. The main deviation is jobmojito_configuration, which is a noun phrase rather than an action verb, and a few longer names like request_another_interview_attempt break the clean pattern slightly.

Tool Count2/5

With 29 tools, this server is above the 25+ threshold and places a significant navigation burden on an agent. The tools are organized into coherent domains, but several admin/merchant and results tools could likely be consolidated.

Completeness3/5

The core interview lifecycle is well covered: create, read, update, list, state changes, result retrieval, and report generation. However, there are notable gaps such as no delete operations for interviews or catalogue directories, no candidate management beyond listing/registration, and no explicit result-decision tool.
