What's Wrong?
The update_event tool in the Google Calendar MCP integration is missing
the colorId parameter, making it impossible to change event colors
programmatically through Claude Code.
What Should Happen?
update_event should support a colorId parameter to allow changing
the color of calendar events (e.g., blueberry, tomato, sage),
consistent with the Google Calendar API's event resource.
