🟡create_agenda(title, blocks, language)
Creates a timed meeting agenda — a shareable countdown timer that walks attendees through timeboxed topics in sync. Use when the user wants a meeting timer, timeboxes, a run of show, a workshop or standup schedule, or to keep a meeting on time. Not for calendar scheduling or note-taking, and a two-item chat needs no timer. Returns edit_url (the private control page: start, pause, advance and finish the meeting, and edit blocks by hand), share_url (the read-only live timer for attendees, safe to post anywhere) and edit_token (needed by every other BriefMe tool, and the only way back into this agenda). The user needs both links. When the blocks depart from BriefMe's standard shape — an opening, a wrap-up, planned breaks — the result also carries structure_suggestions, each naming the block to add and its length; add_block and reorder_blocks apply them. Block durations add up to the meeting length; when none is given, a standup is about 15 minutes, a 1:1 about 30, sprint planning 60 to 90. Most agendas are three to eight blocks. Titles are read off a wall-sized countdown, so six words or fewer read best; a description is useful only when the title alone is ambiguous. Agendas expire after 7 days and cannot be recovered afterwards.

}🟢get_agenda(edit_token)
Reads back the current state of an agenda, including the id of every block. Needed when block ids are unknown — typically at the start of a new conversation where the user has pasted an edit token; after any BriefMe mutation the current state is already in hand. Takes edit_token only. A share link or share URL does not open an agenda here: one known only by its share link cannot be read or edited through this connector, only re-created.

}🔴update_block(edit_token, block_id, title, duration_seconds, block_type, ...)
Changes one block, identified by block_id. Only the supplied fields change; anything omitted keeps its current value exactly, so a one-field edit is a one-field call. Changes one block only: it does not reorder, add or remove anything, and there is no whole-agenda replace. get_agenda returns the current block ids. Returns the full updated agenda.

Returns the full agenda with the new edit_url and edit_token. The previous ones cannot be restored. Agendas expire after 7 days and cannot be recovered afterwards.
