## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | integer | No | Page size (1-500). Defaults to 50. = `50` |
| `cursor` | string | No | Opaque cursor of the page to return. Pass the value of `pagination.nextCursor` from the previous response; treat it as opaque. |
| `sort` | string | No | Sort order: up to 3 comma-separated fields, each with a leading "-" for descending (e.g. "-updatedAt,name"). Sortable fields: createdAt, updatedAt, name, contactType, role, status, email. Defaults to "-createdAt". Ties are broken by id, so the order is stable across pages, and a cursor is bound to the sort it was issued with. |
| `type` | string | No | Filter by contact type: person (individual) or company (business). `person`, `company` |
| `role` | string | No | Filter by contact role: client, provider, lead, debtor, creditor, student, teacher or unspecified. `client`, `provider`, `lead`, `debtor`, `creditor`, `student`, `teacher`, `unspecified` |
