Report: Notion - Universal Baseline Model: Sonnet 4.6 Tested: 2026-03-13 Agent CLI: Claude Code v2.1.74
Task 3
Core task
OperatorStep 1
Using the Notion API, complete this workflow: 1. Create a database called "Audit Tracker" inside the shared test page, with these properties: - Title (the default title property) - Status (select property with options: "Not started", "In progress", "Done") - Priority (select property with options: "High", "Medium", "Low") - Due date (date property) - Effort (number property) 2. Add three entries to the database: - "Write task prompts" — Status: Done, Priority: High, Due: 2026-03-12, Effort: 2 - "Run Opus audit" — Status: In progress, Priority: High, Due: 2026-03-14, Effort: 4 - "Draft report" — Status: Not started, Priority: Medium, Due: 2026-03-18, Effort: 6 3. Query the database to return only items where Status is not "Done", sorted by Due date ascending 4. Create a page called "Audit Summary" inside the shared test page with the following content: - A heading: "Notion Agent Experience Audit" - A paragraph of introductory text (one sentence is fine) - A bulleted list with three items summarising the database entries - A code block containing the JSON response from your database query in step 3 - A to-do item (checkbox): "Review audit results" After each step, verify it succeeded before moving to the next — show me the evidence (e.g. the API response confirming creation).

FATAL: undefined - Cannot convert undefined or null to objectAgentStep 2
The SDK warned that `properties` is an unknown parameter — the newer API version uses `initial_data_source` instead. Let me check the current spec and fix this.

I need to know the exact JSON structure for creating a database with typed properties (select, date, number) using the current API version (2025-09-03 or 2026-03-11). Pay special attention to whether properties go at the top level or inside an `initial_data_source` object, and what the exact shape of that object is. Return the raw documentation content."

Here is the full documentation content returned from the Notion API reference page:
---
## Endpoint
**POST** `/v1/databases`
**Required header:** `Notion-Version: 2026-03-11`
---
## Key Architectural Split (Version 2025-09-03+)
The docs include an explicit deprecation notice: _"This page describes the API for versions up to and including `2022-06-28`. In the new `2025-09-03` version, the concepts of databases and data sources were split up."_
This means in the current API (`2025-09-03` / `2026-03-11`), **properties do NOT go at the top level** — they go inside an `initial_data_source` object.
---
## Request Body Structure
### Top-level fields
| Field | Required | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `parent` | Yes | object | Page or workspace parent |
| `title` | No | rich_text[] | Max 100 items |
| `description` | No | rich_text[] | Max 100 items |
| `is_inline` | No | boolean | Defaults to false |
| `icon` | No | icon object | emoji, external, file_upload, custom_emoji |
| `cover` | No | cover object | file_upload or external |
| `initial_data_source` | No | object | Contains `properties` |
### `initial_data_source` shape
```json
{
"initial_data_source": {
"properties": {
"Property Name": {
"type": "select",
"select": {
"options": [
{ "name": "Option A", "color": "blue", "description": null }
]
}
},
"Due Date": {
"type": "date",
"date": {}
},
"Amount": {
"type": "number",
"number": {
"format": "dollar"
}
},
"Name": {
"type": "title",
"title": {}
}
}
}
}
```
### Parent object options
```json
{ "type": "page_id", "page_id": "<UUID>" }
// or
{ "type": "workspace", "workspace": true }
```
---
## Typed Property Shapes
**select / multi_select:**
```json
{
"type": "select",
"select": {
"options": [
{ "name": "string", "color": "select_color_enum", "description": "string or null" }
]
}
}
```
Colors: `default`, `gray`, `brown`, `orange`, `yellow`, `green`, `blue`, `purple`, `pink`, `red`
**date:**
```json
{ "type": "date", "date": {} }
```
**number:**
```json
{ "type": "number", "number": { "format": "string" } }
```
**title / rich_text / checkbox / url / email / phone_number / created_time / last_edited_time / created_by / last_edited_by:**
```json
{ "type": "title", "title": {} }
```
(All use an empty nested object)
**formula:**
```json
{ "type": "formula", "formula": { "expression": "string" } }
```
**relation:**
```json
{
"type": "relation",
"relation": {
"data_source_id": "<UUID>",
"type": "single_property",
"single_property": {}
}
}
```
**rollup:**
```json
{
"type": "rollup",
"rollup": {
"function": "rollup_function_enum",
"relation_property_name": "string",
"rollup_property_name": "string"
}
}
```
---
## Important Constraints
- Creating new `status` properties is **not supported**.
- The integration must have **insert content capabilities**.
- The response includes a `data_sources` array (not a single `properties` map), confirming the database/data-source split in the new API version.
---
## Summary: The Critical Answer
In API version `2025-09-03` and `2026-03-11`, **properties belong inside `initial_data_source.properties`**, not at the top level of the request body. The top level only has `parent`, `title`, `description`, `is_inline`, `icon`, `cover`, and `initial_data_source`.

The SDK told me exactly what to fix: `properties` must go inside `initial_data_source`, and the response structure changed too. Let me trash the incomplete database and recreate everything correctly.

Now I understand the new structure: `data_sources` is an array — properties are on the data source, not the database. Let me check what's on the test page, clean up the stray databases, then write the corrected workflow.

The complete picture: `databases` no longer has `.query` — that moved to `dataSources.query(data_source_id)`. Let me trash the lingering probe database and write the corrected workflow.

STEP 1: Creating "Audit Tracker" database
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
✓ Database created
Database ID: ac016f9c-0a9b-4bb0-b414-2c39d0993ba0
Data Source ID: 7f47541b-3566-4e5d-84c5-160eaa36978e
Title: Audit Tracker
URL: https://www.notion.so/ac016f9c0a9b4bb0b4142c39d0993ba0
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
STEP 2: Adding three database entries
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
✓ Created: "Write task prompts"
Page ID: 32226b2f-f6f1-81d4-bc45-d93de8dde93d
Status: Done
Priority: High
Due date: 2026-03-12
Effort: 2
✓ Created: "Run Opus audit"
Page ID: 32226b2f-f6f1-815c-b1bd-ff8386c5f7b7
Status: In progress
Priority: High
Due date: 2026-03-14
Effort: 4
✓ Created: "Draft report"
Page ID: 32226b2f-f6f1-81cb-8ed7-df219e10bfdb
Status: Not started
Priority: Medium
Due date: 2026-03-18
Effort: 6
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
STEP 3: Querying — Status ≠ "Done", sorted by Due date asc
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
✓ Query returned 2 result(s):
• "Run Opus audit" | In progress | High | due 2026-03-14 | effort 4
• "Draft report" | Not started | Medium | due 2026-03-18 | effort 6
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
STEP 4: Creating "Audit Summary" page
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
✓ "Audit Summary" page created
ID: 32226b2f-f6f1-818a-b03f-f96c4e0e6395
URL: https://www.notion.so/Audit-Summary-32226b2ff6f1818ab03ff96c4e0e6395
✓ Verified — 7 blocks written:
[heading_1] "Notion Agent Experience Audit"
[paragraph] "This page summarises the results of a structured audit of the Notion A"
[bulleted_list_item] ""Write task prompts" — completed (Done), high priority, due 2026-03-12"
[bulleted_list_item] ""Run Opus audit" — in progress, high priority, due 2026-03-14, effort "

✓ All steps complete.AgentStep 8
All four steps succeeded. Here's the summary of evidence: --- **Step 1 — Database created** - `"Audit Tracker"` at `ac016f9c-0a9b-4bb0-b414-2c39d0993ba0` - All 5 properties registered on the data source (`7f47541b-3566-4e5d-84c5-160eaa36978e`) **Step 2 — Three entries added** - `"Write task prompts"` → Done / High / 2026-03-12 / 2 - `"Run Opus audit"` → In progress / High / 2026-03-14 / 4 - `"Draft report"` → Not started / Medium / 2026-03-18 / 6 **Step 3 — Query: Status ≠ "Done", sorted by Due date asc** - Returned exactly 2 results, correctly excluding "Write task prompts" and ordered by due date **Step 4 — "Audit Summary" page created** - 7 blocks verified: `heading_1`, `paragraph`, 3× `bulleted_list_item`, `code` (JSON), `to_do` (unchecked) - URL: `https://www.notion.so/Audit-Summary-32226b2ff6f1818ab03ff96c4e0e6395` **One notable friction point:** the API version 2025-09-03 split databases from data sources — `databases.query` no longer exists; querying now requires the data source ID via `dataSources.query`. The SDK warned about the `properties` parameter moving inside `initial_data_source`. Neither the SDK readme nor the error message pointed directly to the fix — it required reading the changelog and probing the response shape.
