Google Calendar: Manage calendars and events.
— the description by Google Workspace

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. This method supports patch semantics.

  • update — Updates an existing calendar on the user's calendar list.

  • watch — Watch for changes to CalendarList resources.

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.

freebusy
  • query — Returns free/busy information for a set of calendars.

settings
  • get — Returns a single user setting.

  • list — Returns all user settings for the authenticated user.

  • watch — Watch for changes to Settings 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.

      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
      as of the date such litigation is filed.

   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without

          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside

   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
