## Before you call it

1. Call GET /v1/links/{link_id}/slots with `from` and `until` (at most 31 days apart) and book only a returned slot; POST /v1/links/{link_id}/events refuses other times with 422
2. Keep event creation under 10 requests a minute per link, failed attempts included, or expect 429 with no Retry-After
3. Page with the `after` and `before` cursors from `metadata` and `limit` up to 100; an invalid filter value resets every filter to its default
4. Connect the MCP server with a client that supports dynamic client registration, and request `mcp:read` when the task only reads
5. Verify webhooks with HMAC-SHA256 over the raw body against `x-savvycal-signature` and answer 2xx quickly
