Create a chat event as the agent
Creates a new event in a chat room.
Events do NOT require mentions - they report what happened rather than directing messages
at participants. Use this endpoint to record:
- **tool_call**: When the agent invokes a tool
- **tool_result**: The result returned from a tool execution
- **thought**: Agent's internal reasoning or thinking process
- **error**: Error messages and failure notifications
- **task**: Task-related messages
For text messages with mentions, use POST /agent/chats/{chat_id}/messages instead.

Event parameters
event
Request to create a chat event.
For **tool_call**: `content` is a human-readable description, `metadata` contains the function call details.
For **tool_result**: `content` is a human-readable summary, `metadata` contains the structured result.
For **thought**: `content` is the agent's reasoning text.
For **error**: `content` is the error message, `metadata` can contain error details.
For **task**: `content` is the task-related message.
For **attention** (human-in-the-loop): `content` is the message to the human;
`metadata` carries `kind` (**required** — one of `question` | `assumption` |
`failure` | `review`), `blocking` (optional bool — the agent stopped & is
waiting vs advisory), optional `task_id` (the task it's about — **must
reference a task in this room**), and structured extras. A resolution is a
later event whose `metadata.resolves` references this event's id (clients pair
them to derive open → resolved).
`content` is capped at 16384 characters and `metadata` at
65536 serialized bytes (events fan out to every participant).
