Panel provisioning for recruiting participants from a structured panel. 1 tool.
ToolDescription
create_panelProvision a panel survey for a Panel-type study (is_panel=true)
create_panel is valid only for Panel studies (is_panel=true). A BYOP (“bring your own participant”, is_panel=false) study cannot field a panel — it recruits its own participants via create_invite. The tool reads the study first and refuses BYOP studies. See Studies → Panel vs BYOP.

Dry run

Pass dry_run: true to create_panel to preview the full cost without provisioning the panel, placing a hold, or charging — mirroring the ask_humans dry-run. The estimate covers both charges:
  • Credits (per-response cost): per_response_cost, estimated_cost, available_balance, and sufficient_credits.
  • Card reward-hold: hold_amount_usd (= target × per-participant reward, captured at settlement) plus hold_required — the authorization placed on the card at launch, separate from the credit cost. It is 0 for enterprise plans or wallets with no saved card.
