AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
The gws-calendar skill provides a command-line interface to interact with the Google Calendar API. It allows users to manage calendars, access control lists, events, and user settings directly from their terminal. The tool supports a wide range of operations including listing, creating, updating, and deleting calendar resources, as well as querying free/busy information.
What it does
- Manage calendar access control lists through various CRUD operations.
- List, create, update, and delete calendars within the user's calendar list.
- Perform event operations such as importing, moving, and quick-adding events.
- Query free/busy information for multiple calendars.
- Retrieve and watch user settings and color definitions.
- Inspect API schemas to determine required parameters and data types.
When to use it
- When you need to automate calendar management tasks via scripts.
- When you want to perform bulk operations on calendar events or settings.
- When you need to integrate Google Calendar data into a terminal-based workflow.
- When you need to audit or modify calendar access control rules.
Advantages
- Provides granular control over Google Calendar resources via CLI.
- Supports schema inspection to verify parameters before execution.
- Enables programmatic access to calendar metadata and event instances.
- Facilitates integration with other command-line tools and automation pipelines.
Usage examples
- “How can I see all available methods for the calendar resource?”
- The user can run gws calendar --help to browse all available resources and methods.
- “How do I check the required parameters for creating an event?”
- The user can run gws schema calendar.events.insert to see the necessary parameters, types, and defaults.

API Resources
acl
delete— Deletes an access control rule.get— Returns an access control rule.insert— Creates an access control rule.list— Returns the rules in the access control list for the calendar.patch— Updates an access control rule. This method supports patch semantics.update— Updates an access control rule.watch— Watch for changes to ACL resources.
calendarList
delete— Removes a calendar from the user's calendar list.get— Returns a calendar from the user's calendar list.insert— Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.list— Returns the calendars on the user's calendar list.patch— Updates an existing calendar on the user's calendar list.

calendars
clear— Clears a primary calendar. This operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.delete— Deletes a secondary calendar. Use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.get— Returns metadata for a calendar.insert— Creates a secondary calendar. The authenticated user for the request is made the data owner of the new calendar.
Note: We recommend to authenticate as the intended data owner of the calendar. You can use domain-wide delegation of authority to allow applications to act on behalf of a specific user. Don't use a service account for authentication. If you use a service account for authentication, the service account is the data owner, which can lead to unexpected behavior.
patch— Updates metadata for a calendar. This method supports patch semantics.update— Updates metadata for a calendar.
channels
stop— Stop watching resources through this channel
colors
get— Returns the color definitions for calendars and events.
events
delete— Deletes an event.get— Returns an event based on its Google Calendar ID. To retrieve an event using its iCalendar ID, call the events.list method using the iCalUID parameter.import— Imports an event. This operation is used to add a private copy of an existing event to a calendar. Only events with an eventType of default may be imported. Deprecated behavior: If a non-default event is imported, its type will be changed to default and any event-type-specific properties it may have will be dropped.insert— Creates an event.instances— Returns instances of the specified recurring event.list— Returns events on the specified calendar.move— Moves an event to another calendar, i.e. changes an event's organizer. Note that only default events can be moved; birthday, focusTime, fromGmail, outOfOffice and workingLocation events cannot be moved.patch— Updates an event. This method supports patch semantics.quickAdd— Creates an event based on a simple text string.update— Updates an event.watch— Watch for changes to Events resources.

Discovering Commands
Before calling any API method, inspect it:
# Browse resources and methods
gws calendar --help
# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema calendar.<resource>.<method>Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.
