# list_events

List calendar events within a date range. Returns JSON by default (with timezoneInfo showing calendar, device, and resolved timezone). Set returnText=true for a human-readable agenda format. Pass deviceTimezone from the system prompt for fallback if calendar settings are unavailable.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_events",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_events is rated Low

This tool purely queries and retrieves calendar event data within a specified date range. It has no parameters that would cause data modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The return of timezone information and formatting options (JSON vs. text) are presentation choices, not functional changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'List calendar events' which is a retrieval operation. Returns data in JSON or human-readable format with no modification, creation, deletion, or side effects mentioned."

## Use case

AI agents call list_events to retrieve information from Freshdesk without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Freshdesk:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_events": {}
  }
}
```
