Create Metric

Create an FME metric definition, resolving every reference (traffic type, event type, owners) against real data first instead of guessing IDs.

For every step below marked Stop condition, read references/stop-conditions.md before improvising - each covers a case where a plausible guess is wrong often enough that presenting real options and waiting for a pick is required, not optional.

Prerequisites

Establish org_id + project_id. If /choose-metric was already run and found no suitable metric, reuse its context (hypothesis, traffic type) instead of re-asking.

Instructions

Step 1: Check for an existing metric first

Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_metric"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
  filters: { name: "<proposed name, substring>", limit: 20 }

Filter fields go under filters, not top-level - passed top-level they're silently ignored and every metric comes back unfiltered. limit belongs in filters too; harness_list's top-level size maps to the same thing, so don't send both. (Same for traffic_type in Step 3). Keep name as specific as the request allows: these are full metric definitions, so a broad substring like purchase can return dozens of them.

The backend returns 409 for a duplicate name and for a duplicate definition (same attribute combination) under a different name - catching this early saves a round trip. If something close already exists, confirm a new metric is actually needed rather than reusing/updating the existing one.

Stop condition if the request is vague (e.g. "track checkouts" with no aggregation specified) - see references/stop-conditions.md.

Step 2: Resolve `trafficType`

Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_traffic_type"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"

Use the traffic type name (immutable after creation, like name itself). Don't ask the user for an ID - resolve it from this list.

Step 3: Resolve `baseEventTypes[].eventTypeId`

Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_event_type"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
  filters: { traffic_type: "<traffic type name or id>", name: "<event name, if the user named one>" }

Add name whenever the user named the event; drop it only when you need the full list to show what's available. Both are substring/ID matches.

Stop condition if the event isn't in this list, or if several events match and none is an exact match for what the user said - a substring search on a word like purchase routinely returns a dozen variants, so present the real ones and ask instead of picking the shortest or cleanest-looking name. Don't invent an ID and don't silently substitute the closest-looking real event either; see references/stop-conditions.md.

Step 4: Decide aggregation, format, spread, isPositive

aggregation: COUNT (count of events), TOTAL (sum of event values), AVERAGE (average event value), RATE (unique units that did the event). TOTAL/AVERAGE sum the track() value, or the property named in baseEventTypes[].propertyForValue.
spread: not part of the create body - every new metric is PER, so don't put it in the draft. PER = computed per unit, then compared across treatments (RATE+PER = percent of users who converted, COUNT+PER = events per user). ACROSS (one aggregate over the whole treatment) is a deprecated legacy value with no create path and no significance test in experiment results - don't offer it as a choice. Existing ACROSS metrics can still be read and patched via fme_metric.update.
format: NUMBER, DOLLAR, PERCENTAGE, SECONDS, MILLISECONDS, BYTES - display only. NUMBER is the right default when the request implies no unit. RATE+PER always reads back as PERCENTAGE; PERCENTAGE on anything else reads back as NUMBER.
isPositive: true if an increase is a good outcome. Get this right - it drives significance-direction interpretation downstream (see /review-experiment-results).

Step 5: Name and owners

name: must match ^[A-Za-z][-_A-Za-z0-9]*$, max 100 chars, immutable. No spaces - if the user gives a human title like "Checkout Conversion", derive a valid name (e.g. checkout_conversion) and confirm it rather than sending the title verbatim and hitting an unhelpful 400.
owners: required for now - the backend rejects an empty/missing list with 400 "Owners cannot be empty" until the planned owners deprecation ships. Each entry is {type: "USER", email: "..."} or {type: "GROUP", identifier: "..."}. A GROUP identifier is matched against the ids of the groups in the project - the id an existing GROUP owner shows on read, not its display name. An unmatched identifier fails with group owner not found.

Stop condition if no owner was specified, or one turns out to be invalid - see references/stop-conditions.md.

Step 6: Optional fields

filterEventType - {eventTypeId, filterAggregation, propertyFilters}, resolved the same way as Step 3. Two uses, selected by filterAggregation:
- "RATE" - HAS_DONE filter: only count units that did this event.
- "COUNT" with aggregation: COUNT - ratio metric ("ratio of two events per unit"): baseEventTypes is the numerator, filterEventType the denominator.
triggerEventType - {eventTypeId}, resolved the same way as Step 3. Before/trigger relationship (HAS_DONE_BEFORE): only count units that did this event before the base event. Use this when the user asks for "only count users who did X before Y", "prior to", or "as a trigger" - don't substitute a plain filterEventType (HAS_DONE, no ordering) for this, since it drops the ordering constraint the user asked for. On update, omitting the field leaves it unchanged; null clears it.

Stop condition if the request is ambiguous between a plain "has done this event" filter and a before/trigger relationship - see references/stop-conditions.md.
cap - outlier capping; 7 sub-fields (baseEventCountCap, baseEventSumCap, baseEventValueCap, filterEventCountCap, filterEventSumCap, filterEventValueCap, metricValueCap, all default 0 = no cap) plus granularity (MINUTES|HOURS|DAYS|WEEKS, default DAYS) - the time window each cap value is evaluated over, e.g. baseEventCountCap: 5 + granularity: DAYS caps at 5 base events per unit per day. Only the cap field matching the metric's aggregation has any effect - don't set others; ask which cap the user wants if they mention capping without specifying.
tags - each entry {name: "..."} (bare strings are auto-wrapped).

Step 7: Draft and confirm

Present the full payload before calling anything:

name: <name>
trafficType: <name>
format: <FORMAT>
aggregation: <AGGREGATION>
isPositive: <true|false>
baseEventTypes: [{ eventTypeId: <resolved id> }]
owners: [{ type: "USER", email: <email> }]
# + filterEventType / triggerEventType / cap / tags if applicable

STOP HERE. Do not call harness_create yet. Wait for the user to explicitly confirm the draft.

Step 8: Create

Call MCP tool: harness_create
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_metric"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
  body: { ...confirmed payload }

On a 409, go back to Step 7 - every single time, not just the first attempt, and name the specific conflicting metric before drafting a revision. Full protocol, including how to handle a long chain of consecutive 409s and how to avoid reusing an already-invalidated field value: references/retry-and-troubleshooting.md.

Step 9: Verify

Call MCP tool: harness_get
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_metric"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
  resource_id: "<id from create response>"

Use the literal id string from the harness_create response rather than retyping it. Confirm the returned format/aggregation match what was requested; if format was coerced (Step 4), tell the user. Never report a create as successful without this harness_get succeeding.

Step 10: Hand off if needed

Creating the metric does not attach it to anything. If this was for an experiment, tell the user the metric ID and that attaching it (via the experiment's keyMetrics/supportingMetrics) is a separate step - /choose-metric covers which list it belongs in.

Examples

"Create a metric for checkout conversion rate" - resolve traffic type + event, aggregation: RATE (percent of users who converted), draft, confirm, create.
"Add a revenue metric based on the purchase_completed event" - Step 3 resolves purchase_completed via fme_event_type; aggregation: TOTAL, format: DOLLAR.
"I want to track average session length" - aggregation: AVERAGE, format: SECONDS or MILLISECONDS per the event's value unit.
"Checkout completions per cart view" - ratio metric: aggregation: COUNT, baseEventTypes: checkout_completed, filterEventType: {eventTypeId: cart_viewed, filterAggregation: COUNT}.

Performance Notes

Resolve traffic type and event type once, not per field.
create has retryPolicy: do_not_retry. If a create 400s, list fme_metric by name before retrying - a rejected create can still leave a persisted metric, so don't assume a 400 means nothing happened.
Don't call harness_describe for fields already covered above; use it only if the API introduces a field this skill doesn't document.

# Create Metric

Create an FME metric definition, resolving every reference (traffic type,
event type, owners) against real data first instead of guessing IDs.

For every step below marked **Stop condition**, read
`references/stop-conditions.md` before improvising - each covers a case
where a plausible guess is wrong often enough that presenting real options
and waiting for a pick is required, not optional.

## Prerequisites

Establish `org_id` + `project_id`. If `/choose-metric` was already run and
found no suitable metric, reuse its context (hypothesis, traffic type)
instead of re-asking.

## Instructions

### Step 1: Check for an existing metric first

```
Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_metric"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
  filters: { name: "<proposed name, substring>", limit: 20 }
```

Filter fields go under `filters`, not top-level - passed top-level they're
silently ignored and every metric comes back unfiltered. `limit` belongs in
`filters` too; `harness_list`'s top-level `size` maps to the same thing, so
don't send both. (Same for
`traffic_type` in Step 3). Keep `name` as specific as the request allows:
these are full metric definitions, so a broad substring like `purchase` can
return dozens of them.

The backend returns 409 for a duplicate name and for a duplicate
definition (same attribute combination) under a different name - catching
this early saves a round trip. If something close already exists, confirm a new
metric is actually needed rather than reusing/updating the existing one.

**Stop condition** if the request is vague (e.g. "track checkouts" with no
aggregation specified) - see `references/stop-conditions.md`.

### Step 2: Resolve `trafficType`

```
Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_traffic_type"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
```

Use the traffic type **name** (immutable after creation, like `name`
itself). Don't ask the user for an ID - resolve it from this list.

### Step 3: Resolve `baseEventTypes[].eventTypeId`

```
Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_event_type"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
  filters: { traffic_type: "<traffic type name or id>", name: "<event name, if the user named one>" }
```

Add `name` whenever the user named the event; drop it only when you need
the full list to show what's available. Both are substring/ID matches.

**Stop condition** if the event isn't in this list, *or* if several events
match and none is an exact match for what the user said - a substring search
on a word like `purchase` routinely returns a dozen variants, so present the
real ones and ask instead of picking the shortest or cleanest-looking name.
Don't invent an ID and
don't silently substitute the closest-looking real event either; see
`references/stop-conditions.md`.

### Step 4: Decide aggregation, format, spread, isPositive

- **`aggregation`**: `COUNT` (count of events), `TOTAL` (sum of event
  values), `AVERAGE` (average event value), `RATE` (unique units that did
  the event). `TOTAL`/`AVERAGE` sum the `track()` value, or the property
  named in `baseEventTypes[].propertyForValue`.
- **`spread`**: not part of the create body - every new metric is `PER`,
  so don't put it in the draft. `PER` = computed per unit, then compared
  across treatments (`RATE`+`PER` = percent of users who
  converted, `COUNT`+`PER` = events per user). `ACROSS` (one aggregate over
  the whole treatment) is a deprecated legacy value with no create path and
  no significance test in experiment results - don't offer it as a choice.
  Existing `ACROSS` metrics can still be read and patched via
  `fme_metric.update`.
- **`format`**: `NUMBER`, `DOLLAR`, `PERCENTAGE`, `SECONDS`,
  `MILLISECONDS`, `BYTES` - display only. `NUMBER` is the right default when
  the request implies no unit. `RATE`+`PER` always reads back as
  `PERCENTAGE`; `PERCENTAGE` on anything else reads back as `NUMBER`.
- **`isPositive`**: `true` if an increase is a good outcome. Get this
  right - it drives significance-direction interpretation downstream (see
  `/review-experiment-results`).

### Step 5: Name and owners

- `name`: must match `^[A-Za-z][-_A-Za-z0-9]*$`, max 100 chars, immutable.
  No spaces - if the user gives a human title like "Checkout Conversion",
  derive a valid `name` (e.g. `checkout_conversion`) and confirm it rather
  than sending the title verbatim and hitting an unhelpful 400.
- `owners`: required for now - the backend rejects an empty/missing list
  with 400 `"Owners cannot be empty"` until the planned owners deprecation
  ships. Each entry is `{type: "USER", email: "..."}` or
  `{type: "GROUP", identifier: "..."}`. A `GROUP` `identifier` is matched
  against the ids of the groups in the project - the `id` an existing
  `GROUP` owner shows on read, not its display name. An unmatched
  identifier fails with `group owner not found`.

  **Stop condition** if no owner was specified, or one turns out to be
  invalid - see `references/stop-conditions.md`.

### Step 6: Optional fields

- `filterEventType` - `{eventTypeId, filterAggregation, propertyFilters}`,
  resolved the same way as Step 3. Two uses, selected by
  `filterAggregation`:
  - `"RATE"` - HAS_DONE filter: only count units that did this event.
  - `"COUNT"` with `aggregation: COUNT` - ratio metric ("ratio of two
    events per unit"): `baseEventTypes` is the numerator, `filterEventType`
    the denominator.

- `triggerEventType` - `{eventTypeId}`, resolved the same way as Step 3.
  Before/trigger relationship (HAS_DONE_BEFORE): only count units that did
  this event *before* the base event. Use this when the user asks for
  "only count users who did X before Y", "prior to", or "as a trigger" -
  don't substitute a plain `filterEventType` (HAS_DONE, no ordering) for
  this, since it drops the ordering constraint the user asked for. On
  update, omitting the field leaves it unchanged; `null` clears it.

  **Stop condition** if the request is ambiguous between a plain "has done
  this event" filter and a before/trigger relationship - see
  `references/stop-conditions.md`.
- `cap` - outlier capping; 7 sub-fields (`baseEventCountCap`,
  `baseEventSumCap`, `baseEventValueCap`, `filterEventCountCap`,
  `filterEventSumCap`, `filterEventValueCap`, `metricValueCap`, all default
  `0` = no cap) plus `granularity` (`MINUTES|HOURS|DAYS|WEEKS`, default
  `DAYS`) - the time window each cap value is evaluated over, e.g.
  `baseEventCountCap: 5` + `granularity: DAYS` caps at 5 base events per
  unit per day. Only the cap field matching the metric's `aggregation` has
  any effect - don't set others; ask which cap the user wants if they
  mention capping without specifying.
- `tags` - each entry `{name: "..."}` (bare strings are auto-wrapped).

### Step 7: Draft and confirm

Present the full payload before calling anything:

```
name: <name>
trafficType: <name>
format: <FORMAT>
aggregation: <AGGREGATION>
isPositive: <true|false>
baseEventTypes: [{ eventTypeId: <resolved id> }]
owners: [{ type: "USER", email: <email> }]
# + filterEventType / triggerEventType / cap / tags if applicable
```

**STOP HERE. Do not call `harness_create` yet.** Wait for the user to
explicitly confirm the draft.

### Step 8: Create

```
Call MCP tool: harness_create
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_metric"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
  body: { ...confirmed payload }
```

**On a 409, go back to Step 7 - every single time, not just the first
attempt**, and name the specific conflicting metric before drafting a
revision. Full protocol, including how to handle a long chain of
consecutive 409s and how to avoid reusing an already-invalidated field
value: `references/retry-and-troubleshooting.md`.

### Step 9: Verify

```
Call MCP tool: harness_get
Parameters:
  resource_type: "fme_metric"
  org_id: "<org_id>"
  project_id: "<project_id>"
  resource_id: "<id from create response>"
```

Use the literal `id` string from the `harness_create` response rather than
retyping it. Confirm the returned `format`/`aggregation` match what was
requested; if `format` was coerced (Step 4), tell the user. Never report a
create as successful without this `harness_get` succeeding.

### Step 10: Hand off if needed

Creating the metric does **not** attach it to anything. If this was for an
experiment, tell the user the metric ID and that attaching it (via the
experiment's `keyMetrics`/`supportingMetrics`) is a separate step -
`/choose-metric` covers which list it belongs in.

## Examples

- "Create a metric for checkout conversion rate" - resolve traffic type +
  event, `aggregation: RATE` (percent of users who converted), draft,
  confirm, create.
- "Add a revenue metric based on the purchase_completed event" - Step 3
  resolves `purchase_completed` via `fme_event_type`; `aggregation: TOTAL`,
  `format: DOLLAR`.
- "I want to track average session length" - `aggregation: AVERAGE`,
  `format: SECONDS` or `MILLISECONDS` per the event's value unit.
- "Checkout completions per cart view" - ratio metric: `aggregation: COUNT`,
  `baseEventTypes: checkout_completed`, `filterEventType: {eventTypeId:
  cart_viewed, filterAggregation: COUNT}`.

## Performance Notes

- Resolve traffic type and event type once, not per field.
- `create` has `retryPolicy: do_not_retry`. If a create 400s, list
  `fme_metric` by name before retrying - a rejected create can still leave
  a persisted metric, so don't assume a 400 means nothing happened.
- Don't call `harness_describe` for fields already covered above; use it
  only if the API introduces a field this skill doesn't document.
