Why quickAddCalendarEvent needs a policy

The tool creates new calendar events based on natural language input, which constitutes a Write operation—it adds data to Google Calendar. While calendar modifications are reversible (events can be deleted), the natural language parsing could introduce unintended event creation if the AI misinterprets user intent, potentially causing scheduling conflicts or confusion.

From the tool's definition Tool creates calendar events ("Quickly create an event"). This is a write operation that modifies calendar data by adding new events, which are reversible via deletion.

How to control quickAddCalendarEvent

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 quickAddCalendarEvent:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "quickAddCalendarEvent": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "quickaddcalendarevent_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

quickAddCalendarEvent stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
