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.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Ask Claude to change the color of a calendar event to "blueberry"
  2. Claude calls update_event — no colorId parameter is available
  3. Color change fails silently
