# hires_create_note

Create a discussion note for a candidate. Supports visibility control (all or private) and @mentions with email notifications. Always pass include=candidate when surfacing results in the widget — without it, the confirmation card can only show the candidate ID and cannot link to their backoffice profile.

## Why hires_create_note is rated Medium

This tool creates new note records in the system, which is a reversible write operation. The note can be created with different visibility levels (all or private) and supports @mentions, but the action itself is not destructive, financial, or executable in nature. It simply adds metadata/discussion content to a candidate record.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool creates a discussion note for a candidate with visibility control options. The verb 'Create' and the purpose of adding notes (reversible data creation) align with Write category."

Risk signals: Accepts raw HTML/template content (body)
