Update an invitation

lemonvite_update_invitation
DestructiveIdempotent

Use this when the user asks to change a saved Lemonvite invitation: its title, description, date and time, location, host details, RSVP and guest settings, custom fields, or artwork (pass a new invitation_image). Only the fields you pass change; omitted fields keep their saved values. Read the current values with lemonvite_get_invitation first, especially before changing custom_fields: that list replaces the saved one, and a saved field left out is deleted with its guest answers. On a published invitation the public RSVP page shows the change on its next load, and guests are not notified. Do not call it merely to discuss possible changes. To create a new event use lemonvite_create_invitation; for new artwork from the design engine use lemonvite_generate_design or lemonvite_edit_design; to go live use lemonvite_publish_invitation.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
titleNoEvent title, max 60 characters
event_idYesLemonvite event_id returned by lemonvite_create_invitation or lemonvite_list_invitations. Identifies the event to act on; not a guest invitation_id or RSVP URL.
timezoneNoIANA timezone, e.g. America/New_York
host_nameNoHost name shown on the invitation ("from …"). Defaults to the account's display name — required at create when the account has none (e.g. phone-only signups).
event_typeNoOne of: birthday, wedding, party, baby-shower, celebration-of-life, general. Use 'general' when unsure.
is_virtualNoTrue for an online event using virtual_url; false for an in-person event requiring location_name. Defaults to false on create.
max_guestsNoEvent capacity — the most guests that can RSVP yes. null = uncapped.
descriptionNoInvitation wording/details shown to guests
virtual_urlNoMeeting URL for virtual events
end_datetimeNoEvent end, local wall-clock ISO-8601 with no UTC offset. Pass null to remove an existing end time.
custom_fieldsNoThe host's custom fields — the COMPLETE list, in display order, replacing what is saved. Two kinds: `info` = a detail shown on the invitation for guests to read (gift registry link, dress code, parking); `question` = an input on the RSVP form guests answer when they say yes or maybe (dietary restrictions, meal choice), optionally required. To edit, read custom_fields from lemonvite_get_invitation, change the list and send it back WITH each existing field_id — a field sent without its field_id is created anew and a saved field left out of the list is deleted together with any guest answers. Omit to leave the fields unchanged; pass [] to remove them all. Up to 10 of each kind.
location_nameNoVenue name — REQUIRED for in-person events (anything that tells guests where: "Central Park", "Our place"). Ask the user if you do not know it. Not needed when is_virtual is true.
rsvp_deadlineNoRSVP-by date, local wall-clock ISO-8601 with no UTC offset (must be before start_datetime). Pass null to remove an existing deadline.
start_datetimeNoEvent start as the venue's LOCAL wall-clock time, ISO-8601 with NO UTC offset (e.g. 2026-10-04T18:00:00)
allow_plus_onesNoWhether guests may bring additional attendees, subject to the adult and child limits. Defaults to true on create.
group_chat_linkNoURL of a group chat for guests (WhatsApp, Signal, …), shown on the invitation. Pass null to clear.
show_guest_listNoWhether guests can see who else is invited
invitation_imageNoAn invitation graphic already present in this conversation (for example an image the assistant generated). Lemonvite downloads and stores it permanently as the invitation artwork.
location_addressNoStreet address of the venue (optional; helps guests find it). Never required.
allow_guest_postsNoWhether guests may post on the event wall (default true)
guest_bring_itemsNoWhat guests should bring, shown on the invitation. Pass null to clear.
default_limit_kidsNoDefault plus-one allowance: how many KIDS each guest may bring (0–20). null = no limit.
allow_guest_repliesNoWhether guests may reply to wall posts (default true)
birthday_person_nameNoName of the person being celebrated at a birthday event, up to 120 characters.
default_limit_adultsNoDefault plus-one allowance: how many ADULTS each guest may bring (0–20). null = no limit. Both limits at 0 is refused.
birthday_person_likesNoGift and interest hints for the birthday person (birthday events). Pass null to clear.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds crucial behavioral context beyond those flags: partial-update semantics (omitted fields keep saved values), the destructive replace behavior of custom_fields (a saved field left out is deleted with its guest answers), the fact that published invitations update on next page load without notifying guests, and the requirement to pass existing field_ids. This is rich, non-obvious behavioral disclosure that materially changes how an agent should call the tool.

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?

The description is a single dense paragraph that front-loads the core purpose and usage condition, then packs the most important behavioral warnings (partial update, custom_fields replacement, published page behavior) before the sibling routing. Every sentence earns its place; there is no filler or repetition of schema content.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a 26-parameter mutation tool with a full output schema and 100% schema description coverage, the description covers the essential operational context: when to use it, what changes, what doesn't, the destructive custom_fields behavior, published-invitation visibility, and which siblings handle other intents. The output schema exists, so return values need no explanation. Nothing an agent needs to call this correctly is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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 adds value beyond the schema by explaining the overall partial-update model ('Only the fields you pass change; omitted fields keep their saved values') and by highlighting the custom_fields replace semantics and the need to read current values first. It also clarifies the invitation_image parameter as 'pass a new invitation_image' for artwork changes. The description doesn't enumerate every parameter, but the schema already covers them thoroughly, so the added semantic layer is meaningful.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource ('change a saved Lemonvite invitation') and enumerates exactly which fields can be changed, including artwork via invitation_image. It also distinguishes itself from siblings by naming lemonvite_create_invitation, lemonvite_generate_design, lemonvite_edit_design, and lemonvite_publish_invitation as the tools for other intents. An agent can tell exactly what this tool is for.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description gives explicit when-to-use guidance ('Use this when the user asks to change a saved Lemonvite invitation'), tells the agent to read current values with lemonvite_get_invitation first, warns against calling it merely to discuss changes, and names the sibling tools for create, design, and publish. This is exemplary routing guidance.

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