Brain (AI) should be able to create and manage ClickUp Calendar time blocks

ClickUp Brain can currently create, update, and delete Google Calendar events, but has zero ability to interact with ClickUp's own native Calendar time blocks (focus blocks, scheduling blocks, etc.).
This means Brain can't:
- Create time blocks on the ClickUp Calendar
- Add tasks to existing time blocks
- Move or resize time blocks
This is a significant gap. The whole point of time blocking in ClickUp is that tasks show inside the block, which is far more useful than a Google Calendar event with links in the description. But there's no API or tool access for Brain to do this natively.
Use case: When planning a week (rescheduling overdue tasks, batching CRM reviews, setting up focus days), Brain can reschedule due dates perfectly but then can't help with the last mile: actually blocking the time and assigning tasks to those blocks. Users still have to manually drag tasks into blocks in the Calendar view.
Expected behaviour: Brain should be able to create ClickUp time blocks with a start/end time, assign tasks to them, and manage them just like it can with Google Calendar events.

Facing the exact same issue. As a PM, I spend a huge chunk of my day scheduling: assigning due dates, aligning Gantt charts, and planning focus blocks for the week. I just tried using Brain to bulk-schedule 14 focus blocks based on my task due dates, and it worked great up until the last step.
Brain can create the calendar event, name it after the task, even put the task URL in the description. But it can't do the one thing that makes Planner actually useful: clicking "Add ClickUp task" to link the real task to the block - That native link is what shows the task icon underneath the block, lets you mark it complete from the calendar, and connects your time back to your workflow.
Without it, Brain gets you 90% there and then you're back to manually clicking into 14 events one by one.
The irony is that "Add ClickUp task" is ClickUp's own internal feature, yet ClickUp's own AI can't access it.

And for the record, Brain was pretty embarrassed about this hahaha.
