Following the workflow turned a bare 6-line JXA event-creation snippet into one that checks Calendar.calendars.length before writing, verifies event.id() after, and wraps the whole thing in try/catch pointing at the exact System Settings permission pane on failure.

What Automating Calendar does

Automates macOS Calendar.app through JXA, PyXA, and the EventKit ObjC bridge, starting from AppleScript dictionary discovery in Script Editor. Triggers on requests to create/batch-manage calendar events, handle recurrence and time zones, or do EventKit automation. Explicitly opts out for Google Calendar/CalDAV and non-macOS targets.
