Helper Commands

Command	Description
`+insert`	create a new event
`+agenda`	Show upcoming events across all calendars

API Resources

acl

delete — Deletes an access control rule.
get — Returns an access control rule.
insert — Creates an access control rule.
list — Returns the rules in the access control list for the calendar.
patch — Updates an access control rule. This method supports patch semantics.
update — Updates an access control rule.
watch — Watch for changes to ACL resources.

calendarList

delete — Removes a calendar from the user's calendar list.
get — Returns a calendar from the user's calendar list.
insert — Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.
list — Returns the calendars on the user's calendar list.
patch — Updates an existing calendar on the user's calendar list. This method supports patch semantics.
update — Updates an existing calendar on the user's calendar list.
watch — Watch for changes to CalendarList resources.

calendars

clear — Clears a primary calendar. This operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.
delete — Deletes a secondary calendar. Use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.
get — Returns metadata for a calendar.
insert — Creates a secondary calendar. The authenticated user for the request is made the data owner of the new calendar.

Note: We recommend to authenticate as the intended data owner of the calendar. You can use domain-wide delegation of authority to allow applications to act on behalf of a specific user. Don't use a service account for authentication. If you use a service account for authentication, the service account is the data owner, which can lead to unexpected behavior.

patch — Updates metadata for a calendar. This method supports patch semantics.
update — Updates metadata for a calendar.

channels

stop — Stop watching resources through this channel

colors

get — Returns the color definitions for calendars and events.

events

delete — Deletes an event.
get — Returns an event based on its Google Calendar ID. To retrieve an event using its iCalendar ID, call the events.list method using the iCalUID parameter.
import — Imports an event. This operation is used to add a private copy of an existing event to a calendar. Only events with an eventType of default may be imported. Deprecated behavior: If a non-default event is imported, its type will be changed to default and any event-type-specific properties it may have will be dropped.
insert — Creates an event.
instances — Returns instances of the specified recurring event.
list — Returns events on the specified calendar.
move — Moves an event to another calendar, i.e. changes an event's organizer. Note that only default events can be moved; birthday, focusTime, fromGmail, outOfOffice and workingLocation events cannot be moved.
patch — Updates an event. This method supports patch semantics.
quickAdd — Creates an event based on a simple text string.
update — Updates an event.
watch — Watch for changes to Events resources.

freebusy

query — Returns free/busy information for a set of calendars.

settings

get — Returns a single user setting.
list — Returns all user settings for the authenticated user.
watch — Watch for changes to Settings resources.

Install targets

Codex install prompt

Install the "gws-calendar" agent skill from https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli/tree/main/skills/gws-calendar. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Google Calendar: Manage calendars and events. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"googleworkspace-gws-calendar","task":"Install gws-calendar","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: skills/gws-calendar/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: a3768d0e82ad83cca2da97724e46bea4ff0e6dbd. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
