Tools

Every tool acts as the signed-in user, inside one organization: the one resolved automatically, or the one chosen with select_organization. A tool reads only events your own access admits and that organization was granted. The Kind column says what a call does:

Read changes nothing.
Prepare returns a preview and an approval handoff. Nothing happens until confirm_change runs after the person said yes. See Making changes.
Saves at once changes something when called, with no confirm step.

Not available over MCP

Some things the Nowadays app in Slack does have no MCP tool:

Escalating a question to the Nowadays team.
Setting up an account.
Searching the web.
Showing venues as photo cards.
Reading the emails between Nowadays and the venues. Use get_venue_activity for what we did to reach each venue, and get_proposals for what they quoted.
Keeping or removing notes for an event. Notes that are already kept are readable in get_event_details as keptNotes.
Turning on proposal alerts. get_proposal_alerts only reports whether they are on.

To edit an event’s details, use update_event.
