# hires_list_applications

List applications across all accessible jobs. Supports filtering by candidate, job, stage, status, AI score range, and date ranges. Use for pipeline analytics, sync jobs, and ATS dashboards. Avoid include=candidate or include=cv.text on large pages (each embeds heavy nested data); if the response exceeds the budget the tool returns isError:true with error_code=response_too_large and retry hints. Each application embeds its current stage (IdName) directly in the response — this is sufficient for rendering kanban/pipeline views; you DO NOT need to call hires_get_job to fetch workflow_stages separately when rendering a pipeline.
