Get calendar event

get_event

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a single calendar event using its resource ID, or by calendar ID and UID. Request raw iCalendar only for controlled diagnostics, as it may contain sensitive data.

Instructions

Read one event by resource_id, preferably from a previous result, or by the calendar_id and uid pair. Use list_events for range searches. Request raw iCalendar only for controlled diagnostics because it may contain sensitive calendar data.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`uid`	No	iCalendar UID of the event. Provide it together with calendar_id when resource_id is unavailable.
`calendar_id`	No	Opaque calendar ID returned by list_calendars. Provide it together with uid when resource_id is unavailable.
`resource_id`	No	Opaque event resource ID returned by list_events or get_event. Provide it alone instead of calendar_id and uid.
`include_raw_ical`	No	Include the raw iCalendar resource for controlled diagnostics; it may contain sensitive calendar data. Defaults to false.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`end`	Yes	Normalized event end.
`uid`	Yes	Stored iCalendar UID.
`etag`	Yes	Current ETag for optimistic concurrency, when available.
`href`	Yes	Redacted fingerprint of the CalDAV resource URL.
`rrule`	Yes	Stored RFC 5545 recurrence rule without the RRULE: prefix.
`start`	Yes	Normalized event start.
`alarms`	Yes	Normalized alarms attached to the event.
`summary`	Yes	Stored event title.
`location`	Yes	Stored event location.
`raw_ical`	No	Raw iCalendar resource, included only when explicitly requested.
`recurring`	Yes	Whether this event belongs to a recurring series.
`calendar_id`	Yes	Opaque ID of the containing calendar.
`description`	Yes	Stored event notes.
`resource_id`	Yes	Opaque event ID accepted by get_event, update_event, and delete_event.
`recurrence_id`	Yes	Occurrence identifier for an expanded recurring event.
`recurrence_exception`	Yes	Whether this result is an overridden recurrence instance.

First observedv0.1.0Sep 4, 2026

TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations by warning that raw iCalendar may contain sensitive data and should only be requested for controlled diagnostics, and by noting that resource_id should preferably come from a previous result.

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 three concise, front-loaded sentences with no fluff. Each sentence earns its place: the primary lookup method, the alternative, and the sensitive-data caveat.

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?

Given the annotations, rich schema, and output schema, the description covers the main operational concerns: how to identify the event, when to use list_events, and the sensitive nature of raw iCalendar. It could be slightly more explicit about the fact that at least one identifier must be provided since the schema lists no required parameters, but the 'by... or by...' phrasing implies this.

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%, and each parameter already has a detailed explanation in the schema. The description restates the resource_id-vs-calendar_id+uid relationship and the raw iCalendar caution, but does not add substantial new parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so a baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 begins with the specific verb 'Read one event' and identifies the resource as a calendar event, clearly distinguishing this from sibling tools. It also names the alternative lookup paths (resource_id vs calendar_id+uid pair), making the tool's purpose unmistakable.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description explicitly says to use list_events for range searches, which is a direct routing instruction to an alternative sibling. It also advises using resource_id from a previous result preferentially and restricts raw iCalendar requests to controlled diagnostics, giving clear when-to-use guidance.

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