Create a new event [write]

Part of the Google Workspace Calendar (gws CLI) MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

gws mcp -s calendar Write

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use calendar_events_insert to create or modify resources in Google Workspace Calendar (gws CLI). Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON CALENDAR_EVENTS_INSERT

Without a policy, an AI agent could call calendar_events_insert repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Google Workspace Calendar (gws CLI).

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

tools:
  calendar_events_insert:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 30
          window: 60
