Book a recurring series

create_recurring_reservation

Book a repeating series in one space. startUtc/endUtc are the first occurrence; recurrence describes the pattern (daily with an optional weekdaysOnly, weekly with byWeekday 0=Sunday..6=Saturday, or monthly on a day of the month or an nth weekday), repeating every interval days/weeks/months, ending after count occurrences or on an until date (YYYY-MM-DD in the workspace's time zone). The first booking must fit the pattern (its weekday for a weekly series, its day of the month or nth weekday for a monthly one). The series keeps the same wall-clock time in the workspace's time zone across daylight-saving changes. By default the whole series is refused if any occurrence is unavailable; with skipConflicts true the free times are booked and the rest are returned as skipped. The result lists the booked occurrences with their reservation ids. The workspace's maximum occurrences and booking window come from get_workspace_info. If the workspace enforces space capacity, a booking for more attendees than the space seats is refused with a message naming the space's seat count.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
titleNo
endUtcYesEnd of the first occurrence.
roomIdYes
startUtcYesStart of the first occurrence.
attendeesNo
recurrenceYesThe repeat pattern. freq is daily (optional weekdaysOnly, which needs interval 1), weekly (byWeekday required) or monthly (on required); interval defaults to 1; end is either a count or an until date.
workspaceIdYesThe workspace this call is for: an id from list_my_workspaces.
skipConflictsNoBook the free times and return the unavailable ones as skipped, instead of refusing the whole series. Default false.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the non-destructive, non-idempotent annotations, the description discloses the default all-or-nothing refusal, the skipConflicts alternative and what gets returned as skipped, DST wall-clock preservation, the first-occurrence-must-fit-pattern constraint, capacity refusal messaging, and the untrusted-data caveat. That is far more than the annotations convey.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

It is dense but front-loaded, leading with the core action before the pattern rules, conflict behavior, and return shape. The single paragraph is long and could be broken into bullets, but no sentence is superfluous.

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?

There is no output schema, and the description compensates by stating that the result lists booked occurrences with their reservation ids. Combined with the recurrence rules, conflict handling, and capacity/window constraints, an agent has enough to call it correctly.

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

Parameters5/5

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

With only 63% schema coverage and nested recurrence objects, the description supplies meaning the schema does not: the 0=Sunday..6=Saturday mapping, weekdaysOnly requiring interval 1, monthly dayOfMonth vs nthWeekday with -1 for last, the interval ranges, and the until date being in the workspace time zone. It also clarifies that startUtc/endUtc are the first occurrence only.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description opens with a concrete verb and resource: 'Book a repeating series in one space,' which separates it from the single-booking sibling create_reservation by the word 'repeating'. It stops short of naming create_reservation as the alternative, so sibling differentiation is implied rather than explicit.

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?

Usage context is implied by the recurring framing and by the skipConflicts behavior, and it points to get_workspace_info for the occurrence cap and booking window. It never states outright when to pick this over create_reservation or modify_reservation, so an agent must infer that.

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