## Behavior and boundaries

Creates a subscription calendar. Its content is public: anyone with the feed URL can read every event. Default mode is test (name shown with [TEST], does not count toward the plan); mode=live counts toward the plan's live calendars. Returns feed URL and subscribe links.

## Permissions

Granted scopes, accounts, calendars and visibility rules limit access. Workspace administrators do not automatically gain access to other users’ accounts.
