## Description

Creates a new record in Ironclad. Provide `properties` as a JSON object where each key maps to a `{type, value}` wrapper. Run **Describe Workspace** first to see all valid record types and property keys (with their required `type`) in one call; **List Type Options** / **List Properties Options** exist only to resolve a single value for this action's props, not for general discovery. Property types are snake_case, e.g. `string`, `number`, `monetary_amount`, `address`, `date`, `duration`, `boolean` — **not** the camelCase types used by workflow attributes. Complex types use nested objects: `monetary_amount` `{"currency": "USD", "amount": 25.37}`, `address` `{"lines": ["325 5th Street", "Suite 200"], "locality": "San Francisco", "region": "California", "postcode": "94107", "country": "USA"}`. Example: set `recordName` to `"Acme NDA"`, `recordType` to `"vendor_agreement"`, and `properties` to `{"counterpartyName": {"type": "string", "value": "Acme Corp"}, "contractValue": {"type": "monetary_amount", "value": {"currency": "USD", "amount": 50000}}}`; returns `{"id": "rec_abc123", "name": "Acme NDA"}`.

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `recordName` | `string` | Yes | Name of the record. |
| `recordType` | `string` | Yes | The record type identifier. Call List Type Options to discover valid type keys (e.g. vendor_agreement). Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `properties` | `string` | Yes | JSON object of property key to {type, value} wrapper pairs. Run Describe Workspace first to discover valid keys and their exact required type (e.g. string, number, boolean, monetary_amount, address, date, duration) — do not guess the type. Example: {"counterpartyName": {"type": "string", "value": "Acme Corp"}, "contractValue": {"type": "monetary_amount", "value": {"currency": "USD", "amount": 50000}}}. |
| `links` | `string[]` | No | Array of record IDs to link to the new record. Run Search Records first to find valid record IDs. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `parent` | `string` | No | Record ID to set as the parent of this record. Run Search Records first to find valid record IDs. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `children` | `string[]` | No | Array of record IDs to set as child records. Run Search Records first to find valid record IDs. Options are loaded from the connected account. |

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "ironclad-create-record",
  arguments: {
    recordName: "Name",
    recordType: "Type",
  },
})
