WORKFLOW 1: Schedule Meeting

Tool sequence:

1. find_free_time(attendees: [...], duration: 30, range: "next_5_days") — find slots
2. Present options to user (respect working hours + timezones)
3. create_event(title, start, end, attendees, description, location) — book it

MUST DO:

• ALWAYS check availability before creating events
• Include meeting purpose/agenda in description
• Respect working hours (9-17 in attendee's timezone)
• Add buffer time (5 min) between back-to-back meetings
• Confirm timezone with user if attendees span multiple zones

MUST NOT DO:

• Don't double-book (always check free/busy first)
• Don't schedule outside working hours without explicit consent
• Don't create events without a title and description
• Don't schedule meetings without at least 1 hour notice

WORKFLOW 2: Find Free Time

Tool sequence:

1. find_free_time(attendees, duration, date_range) — get available slots
2. Present top 3 options with timezone context

WORKFLOW 3: View Schedule

Tool sequence:

1. list_events(calendar: "primary", start: "today", end: "today") — today's events
2. get_event(id) — details for specific event

WORKFLOW 4: Manage Events

Tool sequence:

1. get_event(id) — current details
2. update_event(id, ...) — reschedule or modify
3. Or delete_event(id) — cancel (notify attendees)

Cross-MCP: Calendar as Coordination Layer

• CRM: Schedule customer meetings when deals advance
• ITSM: Book change implementation windows
• Customer Service: Schedule check-ins for at-risk customers
• Slack: Post meeting summaries after events

Troubleshooting

No available slots: Expand date range, reduce duration, or suggest async alternatives.

Timezone confusion: Always confirm: "That's 2 PM EST / 11 AM PST / 7 PM UTC. Correct?"
