Icu Bulk Create Events

icu_bulk_create_events

Creates many calendar events in one batch call instead of looping single creates. Accepts a JSON array of event payloads for efficient bulk scheduling of workouts and notes.

Instructions

Create MANY new calendar events in a single batch call (more efficient than looping create_event).

Accepts a JSON array of event objects, each shaped like an icu_create_event payload. For copying existing events forward use icu_duplicate_events instead — that reuses payloads rather than taking new fields. See intervals-icu://event-categories and intervals-icu://workout-syntax for the referenced enums and DSL.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`events`	Yes	JSON array of event objects, each shaped exactly like an icu_create_event call. Required per event: start_date_local, name, category. Optional: description, event_type (activity discipline Ride/Run/Swim/…), duration_seconds, distance_meters, training_load, end_date_local, training_availability, tags (no leading #), color, show_as_note, not_on_fitness_chart, show_on_ctl_line, hide_from_athlete, athlete_cannot_edit. See intervals-icu://event-categories for the category enum. For WORKOUT events the server parses this into structured, device-syncable steps with zones and a training load. Use Intervals.icu workout syntax: one step per line as '- <duration> <target>' (duration FIRST), grouped under Warmup / Main / Cooldown headers. Targets: bike '- 5m 85%', '- 5m Z4', or absolute '- 5m 210w'; HR '- 10m 70-80% HR' or '- 10m 145bpm'; run/swim pace '- 5m Z2 Pace', absolute only with a trailing 'pace' word: '- 5m 4:45/km pace', '- 200mtr 1:45/100m pace' (bare '5:00/km' or '1:45/100m' silently drops); threshold is relative — run '- 25m 100% pace', swim CSS '- 200mtr 100% pace' — the words 'threshold'/'CSS'/'5K pace' are NOT parsed as targets. Add cadence to any step: '- 3m Z2 90rpm'. No target: '- 20m free'. Repeats: put 'Nx' after a section name with steps flat beneath, and leave a blank line before and after the repeat block (without it the repeat silently runs only once) — e.g. 'Main 5x' then '- 3m 110%' / '- 3m 50%'. Ramps: '- 10m ramp 50-70%'. Rest: append 'Ns rest' to a step ('- 200mtr Z2 20s rest') or use a separate '- 20s intensity=rest' step (only intensity=rest exports as a device rest step) — never a bare '- 20s' step (that becomes work, not rest). Durations: 'm'=minutes, 's'=seconds; distance steps use 'mtr'=meters / 'km' / 'yrd' (e.g. swim '- 400mtr Z2 Pace'). Do NOT write '[repeat 5x ...]', nested bullets, or 'Z5 3m' (target before duration). Runs need a pace or HR target — a bare 'Z2' gives no load.

`athlete_id`	No	Athlete ID (for coaches managing multiple athletes)

First observedv0.1.0May 19, 2026

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context about batch efficiency and the duplicate-events alternative, but does not disclose bulk failure behavior, partial success, or batch limits. No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is four sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and efficiency rationale. The alternative and resource pointers follow without redundant detail, leaving syntax detail to the schema where it belongs.

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 rich schema, annotations, and output schema, the description is largely complete for selecting and invoking the tool. It points to the necessary workout-syntax and event-category resources, but omits batch limits and partial-failure semantics that would matter for a bulk mutation.

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%, and the schema's events parameter already fully documents payload shape, workout syntax, enums, and pitfalls. The description adds the relationship to icu_create_event and resource pointers, but the schema itself repeats those same references, so the top-level description adds little parameter meaning beyond the schema baseline.

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 and resource ('Create MANY new calendar events') plus batch scope, and distinguishes itself from looping icu_create_event. It also names icu_duplicate_events as the alternative for copying existing events, so an agent can identify the tool without opening other schemas.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says to use this for many events in one batch and that it is more efficient than looping icu_create_event. It also gives a clear alternative condition: use icu_duplicate_events instead when copying existing events forward.

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

Other Tools
