What get_events does on MCP Calendar Server

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

Why get_events needs a policy

This tool queries/retrieves calendar events without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations—it only returns event data to the user. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes calendar data visibility.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_events' and sibling context (add_event, delete_event, update_event) indicate a retrieval operation. Server description mentions 'checking schedules' as a read operation.
