Procore MCP Server

Create A Person

create_a_person

Create a new person in Procore for a company ID, supplying required fields like name, status, and group IDs. Returns the created person with its new ID.

Instructions

Creates a Person for a given company ID. company_id defaults to the value set by procore_set_config when omitted. Creates the person and returns it with its new id (HTTP 201); calling it again creates another record. Failures come back as an error payload carrying the HTTP status — commonly 401 when the token has expired, 403 without tool permission, and 404 when an id does not resolve. Required parameters: company_id, first_name, last_name, is_user, is_assignable, status, group_ids. Procore API: Resource Management > Resource Planning. Endpoint: POST /rest/v1.0/workforce-planning/v2/companies/{company_id}/people

Behavior4/5

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

The description adds valuable context beyond annotations: it explicitly notes non-idempotency ('calling it again creates another record'), explains error payloads with common HTTP status codes, and mentions the company_id default from procore_set_config. This goes beyond the provided readOnly, idempotent, and destructive hints.

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 a single well-structured paragraph, front-loaded with the main action and followed by practical details (default, non-idempotency, errors, required params, endpoint). Each sentence contributes useful information, though it is slightly dense.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (31 params, no output schema), the description covers key aspects: creation behavior, return of new ID, error handling, and endpoint. It misses some potential context like optional parameter interactions, but the schema covers those. Overall, quite complete for a create operation.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already details all parameters. The description adds only the default behavior for company_id and lists required parameters, which is largely redundant with the schema's required array. Minimal extra semantic value.

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 tool creates a Person for a given company ID, with a specific verb and resource. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like create_company_person or create_project_person, so it falls short of 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?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention other person-creation tools or provide exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name and description.

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