Destructive

Respond tentatively to a calendar event to show you may attend. If the scheduled time conflicts, propose an alternative time directly in the response.

Instructions

Tentatively accept the specified event in a user calendar. If the event allows proposals for new times, on responding tentative to the event, an invitee can choose to suggest an alternative time by including the proposedNewTime parameter. For more information on how to propose a time, and how to receive and accept a new time proposal, see Propose new meeting times.

šŸ’” TIP: Tentatively accepts a meeting invitation. Optional body: { sendResponse: true, comment: 'I might be able to attend.' }. Use proposedNewTime to suggest an alternative: { proposedNewTime: { start: { dateTime, timeZone }, end: { dateTime, timeZone } } }.

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.
eventIdYesValue for the 'eventId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'eventId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the event 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

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=true, so the description doesn't need to repeat that it mutates state. It adds context about the proposedNewTime mechanism and the sendResponse/comment fields, which is useful. However, it does not disclose side effects like sending a response or that the event is modified in the calendar. Given the annotations already cover safety, this is acceptable but could be richer.

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 core action is front-loaded in the first sentence. The tip paragraph is an efficient addition with a concrete example. No fluff, but the description is not overly brief; it earns each sentence. Slightly verbose with the second paragraph, but it adds practical value.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The tool has multiple nested parameters and no output schema. The description does not explain return values or error behavior, which agents might need. However, given the similarity to other calendar event tools, the response format may be assumed. The confirm gate and headers/flags are described in the schema, so the description doesn't need to repeat them. Still, a brief note on what to expect in response would improve completeness.

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%, so the schema already documents most parameters. The description adds a concrete example for the body object in the tip, but this largely duplicates schema content. It does not clarify the 'confirm' parameter beyond what the schema states (which already explains when it is required). 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 clear action ('Tentatively accept') on a specific resource ('the specified event in a user calendar'). The name itself differentiates from siblings like accept-calendar-event and decline-calendar-event, and the description reinforces this by focusing on tentative acceptance and optional proposal.

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?

Provides clear context for using the tool (tentatively accepting an event) and mentions the optional proposal flow. Does not explicitly contrast with alternatives (e.g., 'use accept-calendar-event for final acceptance'), but the action is self-evident from the name and description. The tip gives concrete examples of body parameters, enhancing usability.

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