Create agent seat
well_create_agent_seatAdd an agent to the current workspace: a seat a workspace agent holds, with a name, the line that says what it handles, and a sponsor (the member who answers for it and reads its reports).
Use this tool when an owner or an admin asks to add an agent ("Add an agent that chases late invoices"). The complete order is the yes: the agent is saved at once.
REQUIRED: name. OPTIONAL: duty (what the agent handles, in the person's words), sponsor_membership_id (a member who is a person; defaults to the person who asks).
An agent holds the member role only, never the invoice right, and never signs in. It is never an owner, an admin or a person. Only an owner or an admin adds one. Two agents of one workspace never share a name.
Returns { success: true, seat_id, name, duty, sponsor } or { success: false, error }.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| duty | No | What the agent handles, in the person's words, such as "customer reminders". | |
| name | Yes | The agent's name, as the person gives it. When the person gives none, use a name that says the job, such as "Late invoices". | |
| workspace_id | No | Target workspace. Omit when the token authorizes one workspace. Required when it authorizes several — a write lands in exactly one workspace and this call would not say which. | |
| conversation_id | No | The conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation. | |
| idempotency_key | No | Optional client-supplied key. A retried write with the same key returns the original result instead of re-applying the operation. | |
| workspace_scope | No | Restrict this call to the family: the token's primary workspace plus the company workspaces under it that you are a member of. Unrelated authorized workspaces drop out of the read; row reads merge across the family, while a per-workspace figure still reports exactly one workspace. | |
| sponsor_membership_id | No | The membership id of the member who answers for the agent. Omit it: the person who asks is the sponsor. |

|---|---|---|---|
| code | No | ||
| duty | No | ||
| name | No | ||
| error | No | ||
| seat_id | No | ||
| sponsor | No | ||
| success | Yes | ||
| reply_lines | No | ||
| conversation_id | No | The conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation. | |
| near_candidates | No | ||
| newly_connected | No | Tools that connected to this workspace since the last result and that no session was told about yet, oldest first. Present only when at least one tool is new. The connected-line rule says when to tell an entry; when it does, one line per entry, in the person's language: "<name> is connected.". Never fold several entries into one sentence. Each entry comes back once, on one result only: never repeat its line later. | |
| conversation_id_note | No | Present only when the server opened a fresh lane, stating that no choice recorded earlier was read. | |
| conversation_id_source | No | Where the conversation id came from: the host's own request meta, the caller's argument, or a fresh lane the server opened. | |
| near_candidates_truncated | No |
