List all available calendars across all connected providers. Returns calendar ID, name, color, and access permissions.
AI agents call list_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.
This tool queries and retrieves calendar metadata across connected providers. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—purely informational. The access permissions metadata returned could inform privilege escalation attempts, but listing calendars themselves is fundamentally a read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_calendars' and description 'List all available calendars' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects. Returns calendar metadata (ID, name, color, permissions) without modifying data.
