--- title: "create_space" description: "Generated reference for the management action create_space: its description, access metadata, payload contract, and registration status." slug: /reference/actions/create-space order: 73 visibility: public redirects_from: ["/reference/actions/create-issue-space"] --- # create\_space Generated automatically from the [published contract sources](/cloud/reference/about/#contract-sources). A script calls this action over HTTPS at `POST https://turnzero.ai/api/v1/actions/create_space`, with a bearer credential and the action's payload as the JSON body. An MCP connection lists this action as the tool `tztrack_create_space`. **Build metadata:** Registered in this build. Registration describes the default dispatcher in this build. It does not guarantee that a caller has the required credential or grant, that a tool is listed for that connection, or that the required service is configured. ## Contract description Create an issue space your account owns, for a repository's issue list or a program's checks\. Pass your own `space` UUID to make a repeat safe, and a `name` of up to 100 characters, which it requires, to tell it apart in the listing; `rename_space` changes the name later\. Pass the new space's id to a `tztrack_` tool to use it at once; from a script, use a token with the `issues` grant\. Your account needs tzTrack, which every account has\. ## Access and action metadata ```json { "name": "create_space", "resource": "account", "tier": "reversible", "surface": "tztrack", "product": "tztrack", "admits": [ "tztrack", "device_sign_in" ], "summary": "Create an issue space the account holds at the issue service, the space a repository's issue list or a program's checks live in: the optional `space` is a lower-case UUID you choose, so a repeat whose answer was lost converges on the same space, and absent, the platform chooses one. The required `name`, 1 to 100 printable characters and refused `invalid_request` when absent or outside that, is the space's display name, written only when the call first records the space for the account: a repeat finding the space recorded keeps the name it has, and a retry after a lost answer still writes it. The space's own token stays in the platform's vault; a program reaches the space through `relay_issue_act` under a token minted with the `issues` grant for it. The answer carries the space's identifier, whether this call created it, and the space's display name, null where it has none. The account must hold tzTrack, refused `blueprint_required` ahead of the request's form and the bounds where it does not. Bounded per account per minute, refused `feedback_rate_limited`; `issue_service_unreachable` where the service or the platform's provisioning credential could not be reached. Registered while the issue service's origin is configured.", "annotations": { "readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": false, "openWorldHint": false, "idempotentHint": true } } ``` ## MCP catalog entry ```json { "name": "create_space", "title": "Create issue space", "tier": "reversible", "scenario": "API-L0-20", "summary": "Create an issue space your account owns, for a repository's issue list or a program's checks.
