Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing event-creation endpoint coverage and the linked API reference, then identify the missing onboarding, participant, and staff operations. Verify the new operations against the stated token-permission and event/series-scope requirements. Done means the API supports all listed actions and the API reference documents fields, authentication, and request/response examples.
