easytable_create_booking

Destructive

Creates a restaurant reservation from date, time, party size, and guest details using your open booking-widget tab, after confirming the preview.

Instructions

Create a restaurant booking. Reads the Cloudflare Turnstile token from your signed-in booking-widget tab (via the bridge) and submits it with the reservation — so a book.easytable.com/book/?id= tab must be open and loaded. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). The first call makes NO network call.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesRestaurant id — the `id` in a book.easytable.com/book/?id=<id> link.
dateYesBooking date, ISO YYYY-MM-DD (from easytable_list_dates).
langNoWidget language code (en, se, da, …). Defaults to en.en
nameYesGuest name on the booking.
timeYesTime slot HH:MM (from easytable_list_times).
typeYesBooking area/type id from easytable_list_types.
emailNoGuest email.
eventNoOptional event id.
mobileYesGuest mobile in E.164 (e.g. +46701234567).
commentNoFree-text note / special requests.
companyNoOptional company name.
personsYesParty size.
confirmTokenNoONLY for the two-step confirmation fallback (a client without MCP elicitation). The confirmToken from this same tool's phase-1 "confirmation-required" response, passed back ONLY after the user has seen that preview and explicitly approved it in chat — never on the first call, never invented, never reused. Call again with the same arguments. Ignored when the client supports elicitation.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial behavior beyond the annotations: reads a Cloudflare Turnstile token via a bridge, requires a signed-in widget tab, prompts for confirmation, and critically discloses that the first call makes no network call and returns a preview + confirmToken. This is exactly the non-obvious operational detail the annotations do not carry.

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?

Front-loads the core purpose, then layers prerequisites and the confirmation protocol. It is dense and every sentence is load-bearing, though the confirm-flow explanation is lengthy relative to a single-tool description.

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 13-parameter mutation with no output schema, the description covers prerequisites, confirmation, and the no-network first call. It does not describe failure modes (e.g., unavailable slot, missing/mismatched token beyond the outline) or the eventual success response, leaving a small gap.

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 100%, so parameters are already well documented (id, date, time, type, confirmToken, etc.). The description adds linkage context (id as the widget link id, confirmToken as the phase-1 token) but no syntax or format detail beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb+resource ('Create a restaurant booking') and clearly distinguishes itself from siblings like easytable_modify_booking and easytable_cancel_booking. An agent immediately knows this is the booking-creation tool.

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 concrete prerequisites (a loaded book.easytable.com/book/?id=<id> tab must be open) and explains the confirmation flow, including the MCP_CONFIRM_MODE fallback. It does not explicitly state when to prefer this over siblings (e.g., availability-check tools), but the operational context is strong.

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