Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:590-640 (handler)

  Executes the update_event tool: patches the specified Google Calendar event with updated fields (summary, location, description, start, end, attendees) using Google Calendar API v3.

  private async handleUpdateEvent(args: any) {
    try {
      const { eventId, summary, location, description, start, end, attendees } =
        args;
  
      const event: any = {};
      if (summary) event.summary = summary;
      if (location) event.location = location;
      if (description) event.description = description;
      if (start) {
        event.start = {
          dateTime: start,
          timeZone: Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone,
        };
      }
      if (end) {
        event.end = {
          dateTime: end,
          timeZone: Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone,
        };
      }
      if (attendees) {
        event.attendees = attendees.map((email: string) => ({ email }));
      }
  
      const response = await this.calendar.events.patch({
        calendarId: "primary",
        eventId,
        requestBody: event,
      });
  
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Event updated successfully. Event ID: ${response.data.id}`,
          },
        ],
      };
    } catch (error: any) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Error updating event: ${error.message}`,
