How to Safely Delegate Calendar Scheduling to an AI Agent

Learn to use an AI assistant for calendar management without granting excessive permissions. This workflow uses a workaround where the agent creates events on its own calendar and invites you, protecting your personal data.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Request Calendar Access

Ask your AI agent how to grant it access to your calendar. It will likely provide a URL for OAuth authorization.

2

Scrutinize and Reject Broad Permissions

When presented with the permission screen (e.g., Google OAuth), carefully review the requested scopes. If they are too broad (e.g., asking to delete files and emails), push back.

Prompt:
Do you really need all these scopes?
Pro Tip: AI agents will often request the broadest possible permissions. Always question if they are necessary for the specific task.
3

Delegate the Task via Email

Instead of letting the agent read your inbox, forward specific information it needs, like an event confirmation email, to its dedicated email address.

4

Use a Calendar Invitation Workaround

To avoid granting write access to your personal calendar, instruct the agent to create the event on its own calendar and send you an invitation.

Prompt:
Hey, can you just create an event on your calendar and invite me to it?
Pro Tip: Treating the agent like a colleague by having it invite you is a safe and effective way to get events onto your calendar.
5

Accept the Invite

Accept the calendar invitation sent by the agent. The event will now appear on your personal calendar without the agent ever having direct write access to it.
