Given a uid returned by a previous execution of "Send Meeting Request", it allows you to cancel the meeting request and have it removed from the guests' calendar. The inputs are pretty much the same as the "Send Meeting Request" for the cancellation to be very accurate although the UID and start/end times are the keys to identify the meeting to cancel.
