`GoogleCalendarTools` has been extended with additional tools, a service account authentication path, and new cookbooks to help teams get started quickly. Agents can now handle a broader set of calendar workflows, from listing and creating events to managing multi-user deployments, without requiring per-user OAuth flows.

This agent will use GoogleCalendarTools to find today’s events:

Details**:**

- New tools extend coverage beyond `list_events` and `create_event` for richer calendar management
- Service account authentication enables server-side and multi-tenant deployments without personal OAuth credentials
- `allow_update` flag (default `False`) gates write operations, providing a safe default for read-heavy workflows
- `calendar_id`, `oauth_port`, `token_path`, and `access_token` parameters give fine-grained control over auth and calendar targeting
- Existing OAuth credential flows continue to work; no migration required
