Implementation Reference
- src/tools/event-create.ts:115-207 (handler)The main handler function for the 'create-event-with-attendees' tool. It handles authentication, computes default times, formats attendees, constructs the Microsoft Graph Event object, calls the Graph API to create the event, and formats the response.
