- Use the request's explicit time range for the query.
- Reduce manual cross-calendar checking before responding.

Questions about this workflow
Does this find specific open slots?
Query Free/Busy returns free and busy information. Find Free Slots is the action for locating slots.
What if the request lacks a time range?
Have Notis report that the range is missing rather than assume one.
