google_calendar_create_event

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• handlers/calendar.ts:49-87 (handler)

  The main handler function that executes the tool: validates arguments using isCreateEventArgs, destructures parameters, performs additional checks, calls the underlying GoogleCalendar.createEvent method, and returns a formatted response.

  export async function handleCalendarCreateEvent(
    args: any,
    googleCalendarInstance: GoogleCalendar
  ) {
    if (!isCreateEventArgs(args)) {
      throw new Error("Invalid arguments for google_calendar_create_event");
    }
  
    const {
      summary,
      start,
      end,
      calendarId,
      description,
      location,
      colorId,
      attendees,
      recurrence,
    } = args;
  
    if (!summary || !start || !end) throw new Error("Missing required arguments");
  
    const result = await googleCalendarInstance.createEvent(
      summary,
      start,
      end,
      calendarId,
      description,
      location,
      colorId,
      attendees,
      recurrence
    );
  
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: result }],
      isError: false,
    };
  }

• tools/calendar/index.ts:27-77 (schema)

  Input schema definition for the google_calendar_create_event tool, including name, description, properties, and required fields.

  export const CREATE_EVENT_TOOL: Tool = {
    name: "google_calendar_create_event",
    description: "Create a new event in Google Calendar",
    inputSchema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {

          type: "string",
          description: "The title/summary of the event",
        },
        description: {
          type: "string",
          description: "Detailed description of the event",
        },
        location: {
          type: "string",
          description: "Physical location or address",
        },
        start: {

          description:
            "Start time of the event in ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2025-04-02T10:00:00-07:00)",

        end: {
          type: "string",
          description:
            "End time of the event in ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2025-04-02T11:00:00-07:00)",
        },
        colorId: {
          type: "string",
          description: "Color identifier (1-11) for the event",
        },

      },
      required: ["summary", "start", "end"],
    },
  };

• utils/calendar.ts:17-67 (helper)

  Core implementation in GoogleCalendar class: constructs the event request body from parameters, calls Google Calendar API events.insert, handles optional fields like attendees and recurrence, and returns success message with event ID.

  async createEvent(
    summary: string,
    start: string,
    end: string,
    calendarId?: string,
    description?: string,
    location?: string,
    colorId?: string,
    attendees?: string[],
    recurrence?: string
  ) {
    try {
      const targetCalendarId = calendarId || this.defaultCalendarId;
  
      // Build the request body with required fields
      const requestBody: any = {
        summary,
        start: { dateTime: start },
        end: { dateTime: end },
      };
  
      // Add optional fields if provided
      if (description) requestBody.description = description;
      if (location) requestBody.location = location;
      if (colorId) requestBody.colorId = colorId;
  
      // Format attendees if provided
      if (attendees && attendees.length > 0) {
        requestBody.attendees = attendees.map((email) => ({ email }));
      }
  
      // Add recurrence rule if provided
      if (recurrence) {
        requestBody.recurrence = [recurrence];
      }
  
      const event = await this.calendar.events.insert({
        calendarId: targetCalendarId,
        requestBody,
        sendUpdates: attendees && attendees.length > 0 ? "all" : "none",
      });
  
      return `Event "${summary}" created with ID: ${event.data.id} in calendar: ${targetCalendarId}`;
    } catch (error) {
      throw new Error(
        `Failed to create event: ${
          error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
        }`
      );
    }
  }

• utils/helper.ts:12-36 (helper)

  Type guard function for validating input arguments to the create event handler.

  export function isCreateEventArgs(args: any): args is {
    summary: string;
    start: string;
    end: string;
    calendarId?: string;
    description?: string;
    location?: string;
    colorId?: string;
    attendees?: string[];
    recurrence?: string;
  } {
    return (
      args &&
      typeof args.summary === "string" &&
      typeof args.start === "string" &&
      typeof args.end === "string" &&
      (args.calendarId === undefined || typeof args.calendarId === "string") &&
      (args.description === undefined || typeof args.description === "string") &&
      (args.location === undefined || typeof args.location === "string") &&
      (args.colorId === undefined || typeof args.colorId === "string") &&
      (args.recurrence === undefined || typeof args.recurrence === "string") &&
