## 5. Best practices

| Goal               | Tip                                                          |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Precise scheduling | Include date, start/end time, attendees                      |
| Faster updates     | Refer to event by clear title and day                        |
| Avoid conflicts    | Ask: "Find a 1h slot tomorrow afternoon"                     |
| Clean calendar     | Periodically: "List events older than last week named Draft" |

## 6. Troubleshooting

| Issue              | Fix                                                        |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| No events returned | Specify a timeframe: "this week" or "today"                |
| Wrong account      | Reconnect with the correct Google account                  |
| Time zone off      | Ask: "What is my calendar time zone?" then update settings |
| Event not found    | Use the exact title and date, or try the search command    |
| Permission error   | Reconnect and approve all calendar scopes                  |

## 7. Security

* OAuth tokens only, no password storage
* Scoped access (events and selected calendars)
* Revocable anytime in Google security settings
* Modification actions can request confirmation

## 8. Sample multi-step flow

```
What's on my calendar tomorrow?
Find a 45m slot with Sarah and Mike next week
Schedule strategy sync in that slot
Add agenda: roadmap review + risks
```
