What suggest_time does on Google Workspace Mcp Sidecar

AI agents call suggest_time to retrieve information from Google Workspace Mcp Sidecar without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why suggest_time needs a policy

This tool retrieves and analyzes existing calendar data to suggest free time slots. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or trigger external operations. Even though it performs computation (availability analysis), that is analysis of read-only data. No calendar events are created, modified, or deleted by suggestion alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'suggest_time' and description states it suggests 'an available time slot' — a retrieval/query operation with no side effects. It queries calendar availability data to recommend times, analogous to 'get' or 'fetch' operations.
