Create Calendar Event(s)

create_event

Create single or multiple events in Google Calendar. Bulk create with timezone, recurrence, attendees, and attachments.

Instructions

Create single or multiple events in Google Calendar. TIMEZONE: Always pass the timezone parameter or include UTC offsets in start_time/end_time (e.g., '2025-03-03T15:00:00-05:00') to avoid times being interpreted incorrectly. Supports both individual event creation (backward compatible) and bulk event creation for efficient batch operations.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eventsNoArray of event objects for bulk creation (or JSON string that will be parsed). Each event should contain: summary (required), start_time (required), end_time (required), and optional fields like description, location, attendees, timezone, attachments. When provided, uses bulk mode and ignores legacy single-event parameters
summaryNoEvent title/summary (legacy mode only - used when 'events' parameter is not provided)
durationNoEvent duration as alternative to end_time. Format: a number + unit — '30s', '5m', '2h', '1.5d', '1w'. Ignored if end_time is also provided. Legacy mode only
end_timeNoEvent end time. Required unless 'duration' is provided. IMPORTANT: Always specify timezone to avoid time offset issues. Preferred: datetime with offset (e.g., '2025-01-01T11:00:00-05:00') or UTC ('2025-01-01T11:00:00Z'). Naive datetimes are localized using the timezone param or server default. Date only for all-day events (e.g., '2025-01-02'). Legacy mode only
locationNoEvent location. Can be a physical address (e.g., '123 Main St, City, State') or virtual meeting link (e.g., 'https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij') (legacy mode only)
timezoneNoSTRONGLY RECOMMENDED when using naive datetimes. IANA timezone name (e.g., 'America/New_York', 'America/Chicago'). Naive datetimes in start_time/end_time will be interpreted in this timezone. Without this, the server's DEFAULT_TIMEZONE setting is used. Has no effect when times already contain an offset (Z or ±HH:MM). Legacy mode only
attendeesNoList of attendee email addresses. Each attendee will receive an invitation (legacy mode only)
recurrenceNoList of RRULE, EXRULE, RDATE, or EXDATE strings for recurring events (e.g., ['RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,WE,FR']). See RFC 5545. Legacy mode only
start_timeNoEvent start time. IMPORTANT: Always specify timezone to avoid time offset issues. Preferred: datetime with offset (e.g., '2025-01-01T10:00:00-05:00') or UTC ('2025-01-01T10:00:00Z'). Naive datetimes are localized using the timezone param or server default. Date only for all-day events (e.g., '2025-01-01'). Legacy mode only
attachmentsNoList of Google Drive file URLs (e.g., 'https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID') or direct file IDs to attach to the event. Files must be accessible to the calendar owner (legacy mode only)
calendar_idNoCalendar ID where events will be created. Use 'primary' for the user's main calendarprimary
descriptionNoEvent description/details. Supports plain text or basic HTML formatting (legacy mode only)
user_google_emailNoThe user's Google email address for Calendar access. If None, uses the current authenticated user from FastMCP context (auto-injected by middleware).

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations show it's not read-only or idempotent, matching a creation tool. The description adds crucial behavioral context like timezone handling and mode selection, which goes beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise (few sentences) and front-loaded with purpose, followed by a critical warning and mode support. Every sentence contributes meaningfully.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description covers key aspects: purpose, timezone, modes. Given the complexity (13 parameters, two modes), it is mostly complete although it could mention the return value or response format, but the output schema likely covers that.

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 coverage is 100% with detailed parameter descriptions. The description adds value by explaining the bulk vs legacy distinction but largely reiterates schema info like timezone warnings, so it does not significantly enhance parameter understanding beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states it creates calendar events in Google Calendar and supports both single and bulk creation. It distinguishes from siblings like modify_event or delete_event by specifying the creation action and bulk capability.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description indicates when to use the tool (for creating events) and guides between single/legacy and bulk modes. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives for related operations like updating or deleting events.

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