### How Riff wires Calendar for you (under the hood)

* Sets up OAuth and stores tokens in **Secrets/Integrations**
* Adds minimal scopes, verifies, test action
* Exposes Calendar to tasks, automations, and agents

### Security notes

* Calendars may include personal schedules and private appointments
* Frontend never sees secrets
* Least-privilege scopes
