## Contact Fields

- `first_name`, `last_name`, `job_title`, `description`
- `emails` (array of `{email}`)
- `phones` (array of `{phone_number}`)
- `education`, `website`, `linkedin`, `facebook`, `twitter`, `instagram`, `telegram`
- `birthday`, `image_url`
- `last_seen_at`, `next_reminder_at`
- `is_archived`, `created_at`, `updated_at`

## Searching Contacts

The API only supports search by email. For name-based search, fetch contacts in batches and filter locally. Use a reasonable limit (50-100) for browsing.

## Notes

- Always confirm before creating, updating, or deleting contacts/notes/reminders
- Contact search by name requires local filtering (API only supports email search)
- Use pagination (limit/offset) for large result sets
- The `event_time` field on notes is when the interaction happened, not when the note was created
