### Search Operators

| Operator | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `EQ` | Equal to |

| `GT` / `GTE` | Greater than / Greater than or equal |
| `CONTAINS_TOKEN` | Contains word |
| `NOT_CONTAINS_TOKEN` | Does not contain word |
| `HAS_PROPERTY` | Property exists |
| `NOT_HAS_PROPERTY` | Property does not exist |

### Pagination

All list endpoints support pagination via the `after` parameter:
```bash
curl -s "https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts?limit=100&after={next_cursor}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
```

The `after` value comes from `paging.next.after` in the response.

## Common Workflows

### Pipeline Report
1. List all deals with `dealstage`, `amount`, `closedate`
2. Group by stage
3. Sum amounts per stage
4. Present as pipeline summary table

### Contact Enrichment
1. Search contacts missing key properties (`NOT_HAS_PROPERTY`)
2. For each, check if company domain exists
3. Pull company data and update contact

### Deal Health Check
1. List deals in active stages
2. Flag deals with no activity in 14+ days
3. Flag deals past expected close date
4. Present prioritized action list

## Important Notes

- Always use pagination for large datasets. Default limit is 10, max is 100.
- HubSpot property names are lowercase with no spaces (e.g., `firstname`, `dealstage`, `closedate`).
- Deal stages vary by pipeline. List pipeline stages via the Pipelines API if needed.
- Rate limit: 100 requests per 10 seconds. Batch operations when possible.
