manage_event
Create, update, delete, or RSVP to Google Calendar events with full control over attendees, reminders, recurrence, and visibility settings.
Instructions
Create, update, delete, or RSVP to a calendar event.
Side effects: mutates calendar state on the account. Delete is destructive. Attendee email notifications follow send_updates. For read-only fetches use get_events; for focus-time blocks use manage_focus_time. Requires the calendar.events OAuth scope.
