create-specific-calendar-event

create-specific-calendar-event
Destructive

Create a new event in a user or group calendar. Set start/end times, add attendees, location, and recurrence to schedule meetings.

Instructions

Use this API to create a new event in a calendar. The calendar can be one for a user, or the default calendar of a Microsoft 365 group.

šŸ’” TIP: CRITICAL: Do not try to guess the email address of the recipients. Use the list-users tool to find the email address of the recipients.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bodyYes
confirmNoFor destructive operations when the confirm gate is enabled (MS365_MCP_REQUIRE_CONFIRM=true; off by default). Set to true only after the user has explicitly approved this action. When the gate is on, calls without confirm: true return { error: "confirmation_required" } without touching user data.
calendarIdYesValue for the 'calendarId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'calendarId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the calendar object as returned by Microsoft Graph.
includeHeadersNoInclude response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
excludeResponseNoExclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the description doesn't need to restate those. However, it adds no additional behavioral context, such as potential side effects (e.g., sending invitations, modifying calendars) or prerequisites beyond the email tip. The description adds no value beyond what annotations already 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?

The description is concise at two sentences. The first sentence clearly states the purpose, and the second is a practical tip. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and wastes no words. However, the tip, while important, is somewhat tangential to the main purpose, so it earns a 4 rather than a 5.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of this tool (large nested body, many optional fields, and a destructive action), the description is incomplete. It does not explain the calendarId parameter, required fields, or any response/error information. The schema covers parameter details, but the description offers no high-level usage context, such as what to set for a simple event or common pitfalls.

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 80%, which is high, so the baseline is 3. The description provides no extra parameter information; it relies entirely on the schema. Since the schema already documents body and calendarId well, the description doesn't need to compensate, but it also doesn't enhance understanding.

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 clearly states the action ('create a new event in a calendar') and the resource (a user's calendar or default calendar of a Microsoft 365 group). It is specific and understandable, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from similar sibling tools like create-calendar-event, which limits it to a 4 rather than a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The tip about using list-users to find recipient email addresses is a prerequisite, but it does not clarify the tool's specific context (e.g., when you have a calendarId vs. the user's default calendar). No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned.

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