Why getCalendarEvent needs a policy

This tool retrieves calendar event details by ID, which is a read-only operation. It queries data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could access calendar events it shouldn't see, but cannot alter or delete them.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getCalendarEvent' and description 'Get a single calendar event by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control getCalendarEvent

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Workspace MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getCalendarEvent:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getCalendarEvent": {}
  }
}

getCalendarEvent is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Google Workspace MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
