This reference is generated from the published tool contract.
Behavior and boundaries
Section titled “Behavior and boundaries”Checks whether a one-way sync from one of the user’s calendars into another could be created, without creating anything. It reports both calendars, whether it could be created, and every blocker it found — all of them, not just the first. It deliberately does not state how many events would be copied: that is not computed, so it is not claimed. A sync copies continuously, not once. A positive preview is not a reservation: the same checks run again when create_sync writes, and conditions can change in between.
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”Granted scopes, accounts, calendars and visibility rules limit access. Workspace administrators do not automatically gain access to other users’ accounts.
