"What tasks are due this week?"
"Pull up recent notes on John Smith"
"Show call logs from last month"

Tools
Ownership prompts: when a user says "my", "mine", or "owned by me", treat that as an owner-scoped request where the API supports owner filters. Resolve the Recruit CRM user id via list_users when needed, then use owner_id on search_candidates, search_jobs, search_companies, search_contacts, search_tasks, or search_meetings. search_notes, search_call_logs, and search_hotlists do not support owner filters; use an owner-scoped upstream search when applicable or explain the limitation.

Most tools are read-only (readOnlyHint: true). create_candidate, create_hotlist, add_records_to_hotlist, create_task, create_meeting, create_note, assign_candidate_to_job, and update_candidate_hiring_stage are mutating tools and should only be used when explicitly requested by the user.
create_candidate notes: pass source only when the user provides one. URL fields such as linkedin, github, facebook, twitter, xing, avatar, and resume are normalized with https:// when the scheme is missing. For candidate custom fields, resolve the field id with list_candidate_custom_fields, confirm dropdown or multiselect values with get_candidate_custom_field_details, and call get_custom_field_dependencies for any child field to ensure the parent field and its value are also included in the custom_fields array.
