RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_calendars safely

list_calendars Allowed

list_calendars is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    "list_calendars": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Calendar, apply this rule, and every list_calendars call is checked against it from then on.
