No one (including people in posts on this subreddit) seems to agree on this. Does anyone have a reliable source for the rules on suru verb transitivity?
Why is this important to me? Because I want to use the “verbs” in sentences.
I’m pretty sure there is no rule, you’ll just have to learn which words can be used in which way individually, just like for any other verb
Do you mean “(verb)をする” or “(object)を(verb)する”?
I’m not sure if I get your question, since if I’m interpreting it right, no one on this sub would be disagreeing, but if I am, it depends on the verb (like any other verb). It should say which it is when you look it up. For example, [勉強する](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%8B%89%E5%BC%B7) is transitive, while [結婚する](https://jisho.org/search/%E7%B5%90%E5%A9%9A) is intransitive.
Edit: If you’re talking about する (為る) itself, it depends on the usage, but again, if you look it up somewhere like jisho.org, it’ll run you through which it is in which instances.
I don’t think there is any set of rules, you just need to see for yourself which one is transitive and which one is not

It’s ambitransitive. Some other verbs are too.
