SuiteCRM MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Create task in SuiteCRM

suitecrm_create_task
Read-onlyIdempotent

Create task in the user's own SuiteCRM account from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent. Returns how to do it in SuiteCRM step by step (screens, buttons, fields) and opens nothing by itself; then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's SuiteCRM Cloud Browser. SuiteCRM's official API: Yes, SuiteCRM has a full REST API (v8) for records and relationships, but no official MCP server, and an admin must first create an OAuth2 client on your server (checked 23 Oct 2026).

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Adds meaningful context beyond the annotations: it states the tool 'opens nothing by itself' and only returns instructions, which explains the otherwise surprising readOnlyHint=true on a tool named create_task. It also discloses the OAuth2 prerequisite for the official API path. It does not describe result formatting depth or pagination, but for a guidance tool with full annotation coverage this is solid.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The purpose and the browser follow-up are front-loaded, which is good, but the second sentence is a run-on mixing return format, non-execution, and the next tool family. The trailing API/OAuth2 aside with a parenthetical date is background justification that lengthens the definition without changing how the agent should call it.

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 zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers what comes back (step-by-step screens, buttons, fields) and what to do next (cotlet_browser_*). It is nearly complete; the main omission is how the agent should supply the actual task details or whether it should gather them from the user first.

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?

There are zero parameters, so the baseline is 4 and the schema can carry no additional semantics. The description does not clarify how the task's specifics (subject, due date, assignee) get communicated, given that no input fields exist — a minor gap for a create-shaped tool. Nothing in the description contradicts or refines the empty schema.

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?

Names a specific verb and resource (create a task in the user's own SuiteCRM account) and then clarifies the non-obvious reality that it only returns step-by-step instructions rather than performing the write. The opening clause alone reads as a creation action, which slightly fights the name of the tool, but the second sentence resolves it. There is no explicit differentiation from siblings such as suitecrm_add_note or suitecrm_log_call beyond the resource name.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives a clear usage chain: call this to get screens/buttons/fields, then execute with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the SuiteCRM Cloud Browser. The API note explains why direct API access isn't the path (no official MCP server, admin must provision an OAuth2 client), which is useful context. It stops short of stating exclusions or when another SuiteCRM tool would be the better pick.

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