Create an event in a room, on a date, for a contact.

Tripleseat API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/tripleseat.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/tripleseat/locations/{location_id}/events`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates an event with a name, status, location, date, start and end time, account and contact. Without booking_id Tripleseat creates a new booking for it. Set status to Prospect for a first inquiry. Check the room first with check_room_availability. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | string | yes | Event name. |
| `status` | string | yes | Prospect, Tentative, Definite, Closed or Lost. |
| `location_id` | integer | yes | Location ID. |
| `room_id` | integer | yes | Room ID from list_rooms. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
