WHAT IT DOES

What create_calendar_event does on MCP OpenClaw

AI agents use create_calendar_event to create or update resources in MCP OpenClaw — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP OpenClaw environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_calendar_event needs a policy

Creating calendar events is a write operation that modifies calendar data. The severity is medium because while the action is reversible (events can be deleted), unauthorized creation could disrupt schedules, trigger notifications to attendees, or cause confusion. However, it lacks the irreversibility of destructive operations or the financial impact of payment tools.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it 'Create[s] a calendar event' with multiple parameters (title, description, time, location, attendees), which is a reversible modification operation.
