create_session

Create a new session for the event, unscheduled in the 'proposed' status. Depending on the organization's settings, this either executes immediately or files a proposal for approval; the response status field says which happened.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
orgNoOrganization slug. Only needed when you belong to multiple organizations; must be one returned by list_my_orgs.
roomNoThe room's exact NAME as returned by get_field_options (not free text).
tagsNoPREDEFINED tag names from get_field_options (not free text).
typeNoThe session type.
titleYesThe session title.
trackNoThe track's exact NAME as returned by get_field_options (not free text).
eventIdYesEvent id, as returned by list_events.
durationNoDuration in minutes.
request_idYesClient-generated unique id for this write (e.g. a UUID). Retries with the same request_id return the original executed or proposed outcome instead of creating a duplicate. Never reuse a request_id for different arguments.
descriptionNoThe session description.
maxAttendeesNoMaximum attendee capacity.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate this is a non-read-only, non-destructive operation. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that: the session is created unscheduled/proposed, and execution may either happen immediately or be routed through an approval workflow, with the response status field indicating which occurred. This is valuable transparency for an agent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two focused sentences that front-load the core action and status, then add the important approval-behavior nuance. Every sentence earns its place with no filler or redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a complex creation tool with 11 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the key behavioral outcome, the approval variation, and how to interpret the response. It omits deeper side-effect details like permission prerequisites or idempotency, but the schema already documents request_id and parameter constraints, so this is reasonably complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-level details beyond the schema, but it also does not need to, since all parameters already have descriptive text. It does hint at the response status field but not specific parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb ('create'), the resource ('session'), and the target context ('for the event, unscheduled in the 'proposed' status'). This distinguishes it from related siblings like create_session_from_submission and schedule_session by specifying the initial state and workflow.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides useful context about the proposal-vs-immediate behavior and notes the 'proposed' status, implying this is the initial creation step. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over create_session_from_submission, schedule_session, or update_session, so routing guidance remains implicit rather than explicit.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools use distinct resource+action patterns and descriptions actively disambiguate similar cases, but several pairs remain easy to confuse: search vs semantic_search, send_email vs send_speaker_message, and the cluster around submission handling (decide_submission, set_submission_status, update_form_pipeline). The descriptions help, but the overlap is more than a single edge case.

Naming Consistency4/5

The set overwhelmingly follows verb_noun snake_case (create_session, update_sponsor, list_events) and prefixes are applied predictably. Minor deviations like semantic_search, bare search, check_in_attendee, and list_tracks_rooms break the pattern slightly, but they are still readable and not chaotic.

Tool Count1/5

55 tools is an extreme surface for an MCP server, even for a broad event-management platform, and it exceeds the 50+ threshold for severe over-scoping. Many tools are micro-variants of the same domain—multiple send_* tools and several submission-status tools—creating high selection burden for an agent.

Completeness3/5

The server covers a wide range of event, CRM, session, sponsor, form, and email workflows, but there are notable lifecycle gaps: events can be created and read but not updated or deleted, email templates have no update/delete path, and full form submission details and approval actions are absent. These are significant but not catastrophic because much of the core scheduling and contact workflow is covered.
