## Description

Create a Salesforce calendar event (a meeting or appointment with a start and end time). Use **Create Task** instead for to-do items with no scheduled time. Use **Find Records** to get the `WhoId` (contact or lead) and `WhatId` (related record) you want to link. [See the documentation](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_event.htm)

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({
