Most questions about attendees are questions about numbers: how many are coming, how many have arrived, how it splits across ticket types.
tickets/get-attendee-summary answers all of those and discloses nothing about any individual.

How it works
This is the ability to reach for by default. It carries no personal data at all, so it is safe to run in a shared conversation, paste into a ticket, or put on a dashboard.
tickets/list-attendees exists for when you genuinely need the people rather than the count — and it makes you ask for that explicitly.
The check-in figure is the live one, which makes this the right call during an event as well as before it.
Input
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
post_id | integer | Yes | The event, page or other ticketed post. |
What comes back
| Name | Type | What it is |
|---|---|---|
summary | object | Total attendees, checked-in count, and the breakdown per ticket. |
success | boolean | Whether the call completed. |
message | string | A one-line summary of what happened, suitable for showing a human. |
error_code | string | Present only on failure — a stable machine-readable reason, such as a missing field, a wrong field type or an unmet confirmation. |
Example
Ask your assistant:
How many people are coming to this event, and how many have arrived?
It resolves to one call:
{
"ability": "tickets/get-attendee-summary",
"parameters": {
"post_id": 412
}
}Worth knowing
- No personal data, by construction. Prefer it over listing attendees.
- Attendee count is not the same as tickets sold — one order can carry several attendees.
- Safe to run repeatedly during an event to watch check-ins.
