What it does

Create, edit, run or audit scheduled, planned and adhoc tasks; cron, timezones and reminders.

Scheduler Tasks

Use the scheduler tool to manage saved tasks. Always inspect existing tasks before creating, updating, deleting, or running one.

Actions

  • list_tasks: optional state[], type[], next_run_within, next_run_after
  • find_task_by_name: name
  • show_task: uuid
  • run_task: uuid, optional context
  • update_task: uuid, optional name, system_prompt, prompt, attachments[], schedule, timezone, plan[], state, dedicated_context
  • delete_task: uuid
  • create_scheduled_task: name, system_prompt, prompt, optional attachments[], schedule, timezone, dedicated_context
  • create_adhoc_task: name, system_prompt, prompt, optional attachments[], dedicated_context
  • create_planned_task: name, system_prompt, prompt, optional attachments[], plan[], dedicated_context
  • wait_for_task: uuid

Schedule Fields

Schedules use cron-like fields. Do not put ISO datetimes into schedule.

  • minute
  • hour
  • day
  • month
  • weekday
  • timezone

Use IANA timezones such as Europe/Rome. Omit timezone to use the current user timezone. Planned task datetimes go in plan, not schedule, and should be ISO strings such as 2026-05-09T18:25:00.

For one future reminder, prefer create_planned_task with:

{
  "action": "create_planned_task",
  "name": "drink water",
  "prompt": "Remind the user to drink water.",
  "plan": ["2026-05-11T09:15:00"],
  "dedicated_context": true
}

For a recurring or cron-shaped scheduled task, use create_scheduled_task with:

{
  "action": "create_scheduled_task",
  "name": "weekday stretch",
  "prompt": "Remind the user to stretch.",
  "schedule": {
    "minute": "15",
    "hour": "9",
    "day": "*",
    "month": "*",
    "weekday": "1-5",
    "timezone": "Europe/Rome"
  },
  "dedicated_context": true
}
