What it does

Google Calendar is an agent skill from aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore, published by the product's own GitHub organization. View, create, update, and delete calendar events

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation. It works with Google Calendar. The repository describes itself as: Reference architecture for agentic AI chatbots with Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/google-calendar”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6dd9d13. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Google Calendar loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 527 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Usage Guidelines

  • Time format: RFC3339 — 2024-01-15T09:00:00Z (UTC) or 2024-01-15T09:00:00+09:00 (with timezone).
  • All-day events: use date format YYYY-MM-DD with all_day=true.
  • Default calendar is "primary".

Common Operations

Schedule a meeting: Use create_event with attendees parameter for full control over time, description, and reminders.

Find available time: Call check_availability with the relevant calendar IDs and time range before creating events to avoid conflicts.

Quick scheduling: quick_add_event accepts natural language (e.g., "Lunch with Sarah tomorrow at noon"). Convenient but less precise than create_event.

Reschedule: Use update_event with new start_time and end_time. Only the fields you provide will be changed.

UI Guidance (from tools-config)

Google Calendar Tool Usage:

  • list_calendars: Get all user's calendars (primary, shared, subscribed)
  • list_events: List upcoming events with date range filters and search
  • get_event: Get detailed event information
  • create_event: Create new calendar events with attendees and reminders
  • update_event: Modify existing events (time, title, description, attendees)
  • delete_event: Remove events with optional notification to attendees
  • quick_add_event: Create event from natural language (e.g., 'Meeting with John tomorrow at 3pm')
  • check_availability: Query free/busy status for scheduling

Time Format:

  • RFC3339 format: 2024-01-15T09:00:00Z (UTC) or 2024-01-15T09:00:00+09:00 (with timezone)
  • All-day events: use date format YYYY-MM-DD

Common Operations:

  • Schedule meeting: create_event with attendees parameter
  • Find available time: check_availability before creating events
  • Quick scheduling: quick_add_event for natural language input
  • Reschedule: update_event with new start_time and end_time
