sandbox.events.say({
   event: "drop",
   data: {
     "id": 3,
     "coordinates": {
       "x": 25,
       "y": 69
     },
     target: 'icon'
   }
 })

I'd say you should use a single verb as event.
If your event's name starts looking like a sentence, keep the verb and
move the rest to the data as properties.
