 The Linux computer is disabled until configured on the server and has no network access. It is a single-owner container with a persistent `/workspace`, separate from the browser worker; see [computer setup and limits](COMPUTER.md). It is not a graphical desktop or a full OS VM.
 
+Model chat can read the connected primary calendar for an explicit time range of up to 366 days. Missing dates or time zones need clarification. A reply uses at most 20 events and bounded event text; partial results and connection failures are reported. All-day dates keep their calendar time zone and exclusive end date. Calendar changes still require action review. The sample agent's canned replies do not provide this model tool.
+
 The implementation and validation details are in [VERIFICATION.md](VERIFICATION.md). Planned extensions are not claims of current support. Priorities are tracked in the [roadmap](../ROADMAP.md).
