### calendarList

  - `delete` — Removes a calendar from the user's calendar list.
  - `get` — Returns a calendar from the user's calendar list.
  - `insert` — Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.

### calendars

  - `clear` — Clears a primary calendar. This operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.
  - `delete` — Deletes a secondary calendar. Use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.
  - `get` — Returns metadata for a calendar.
  - `insert` — Creates a secondary calendar.
The authenticated user for the request is made the data owner of the new calendar.

Note: We recommend to authenticate as the intended data owner of the calendar. You can use domain-wide delegation of authority to allow applications to act on behalf of a specific user. Don't use a service account for authentication. If you use a service account for authentication, the service account is the data owner, which can lead to unexpected behavior.
  - `patch` — Updates metadata for a calendar. This method supports patch semantics.
  - `update` — Updates metadata for a calendar.

### channels

### events

  - `delete` — Deletes an event.

  - `import` — Imports an event. This operation is used to add a private copy of an existing event to a calendar. Only events with an eventType of default may be imported.
Deprecated behavior: If a non-default event is imported, its type will be changed to default and any event-type-specific properties it may have will be dropped.

  - `instances` — Returns instances of the specified recurring event.
  - `list` — Returns events on the specified calendar.

## Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

```bash
# Browse resources and methods
gws calendar --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema calendar.<resource>.<method>
```

Use `gws schema` output to build your `--params` and `--json` flags.
