get-specific-calendar-event

Read-only

Retrieve detailed information about a specific calendar event using its calendar ID and event ID. Optionally select fields, expand related entities, or specify timezone.

Instructions

The events in the calendar. Navigation property. Read-only.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
selectNoComma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime
expandNoExpand related entities
calendarIdYesPath parameter: calendarId
eventIdYesPath parameter: eventId
fetchAllPagesNoFollow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a small $top first, then paginate or narrow with $filter/$search.
includeHeadersNoInclude response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
excludeResponseNoExclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication
timezoneNoIANA timezone name (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "Asia/Tokyo") for calendar event times. If not specified, times are returned in UTC.
expandExtendedPropertiesNoWhen true, expands singleValueExtendedProperties on each event. Use this to retrieve custom extended properties (e.g., sync metadata) stored on calendar events.
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description adds little beyond the annotations: it repeats 'Read-only' which is already in readOnlyHint. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as response format, pagination, or any side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very short but under-specified. It is not concise in a helpful way; it omits essential information needed for proper tool invocation.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the 9 parameters (2 required) and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not cover return values, error handling, or the scope of the data returned.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not contribute any additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'The events in the calendar. Navigation property. Read-only.' is vague and does not clearly state that this tool retrieves a single specific calendar event by its ID. It fails to differentiate from other event-related tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get-calendar-event or list-calendar-events. The description lacks context for appropriate scenarios.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
