Cron

Use the cron tool whenever the user asks for reminders, recurring checks, or one-time scheduled tasks.

Actions

• add: create a schedule
• list: list current jobs
• remove: delete a job
• enable / disable: toggle execution
• run: force immediate run

Add examples

Fixed reminder:

{"action":"add","message":"Time to take a break","every_seconds":1200}

Agent task on every run:

{"action":"add","prompt":"Check repo CI status and report only failures","every_seconds":600}

One-time schedule:

{"action":"add","message":"Remind me about the meeting","at":"2026-03-02T18:00:00Z"}

Timezone-aware cron:

{"action":"add","prompt":"Morning standup","cron_expr":"0 9 * * 1-5","tz":"America/Vancouver"}

List and remove:

{"action":"list"}
{"action":"remove","job_id":"abc123"}

Notes

• prompt and message are both accepted; use prompt for agent tasks.
• Convert natural-language schedules into every_seconds, at, or cron_expr.
• For add, only provide session_id/channel/target when routing to another session or destination.
