"description": "Expand and describe RFC 5545 recurrence rules (the RRULE behind calendar repeats). The expand endpoint takes an RRULE and a start date-time and returns the next occurrence dates — handling FREQ (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and finer), INTERVAL, COUNT, UNTIL, BYDAY (including ordinals like 2MO or -1FR for 'last Friday'), BYMONTHDAY (including negatives for 'last day'), BYMONTH and WKST. The describe endpoint turns a rule into a plain-English sentence. Everything is computed locally in UTC and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Pure local, no key."
