What compare_calendars does on Calendar MCP Server

AI agents call compare_calendars to retrieve information from Calendar MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why compare_calendars needs a policy

This tool performs a comparative analysis of calendar data across two sources, which is fundamentally a data retrieval and query operation. No modifications, deletions, or external executions occur. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an attacker could learn about calendar synchronization status or event patterns, but cannot change data, delete events, or trigger financial/operational side effects.

From the tool's definition compare_calendars compares two calendars to find matching events and identify differences; it retrieves and analyzes existing data without modifying, deleting, or executing operations.
