Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:672-714 (handler)The handler function that executes the list_events tool. It fetches upcoming calendar events from Google Calendar API using the provided parameters (maxResults, timeMin, timeMax), formats them, and returns as JSON text content.
private async handleListEvents(args: any) { try { const maxResults = args?.maxResults || 10; const timeMin = args?.timeMin || new Date().toISOString(); const timeMax = args?.timeMax; const response = await this.calendar.events.list({ calendarId: "primary", timeMin, timeMax, maxResults, singleEvents: true, orderBy: "startTime", }); const events = response.data.items?.map((event) => ({ id: event.id, summary: event.summary, start: event.start, end: event.end, location: event.location, })); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(events, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error fetching calendar events: ${error.message}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } } - src/index.ts:160-180 (registration)Tool registration in the listTools response, including name, description, and input schema definition.
