description	Manage scheduled tasks, recurring jobs, and one-shot reminders via schedule tools

You can manage scheduled tasks using the schedule tools. Use them to create, list, update, and delete schedules and reminders.

Guidelines

• Use mode: "prompt" when the task needs reasoning (briefings, reminders, summaries).
• Use mode: "action" only for fixed messages or HTTP calls that never change.
• For IDs, use short, descriptive kebab-case slugs (e.g., daily-standup, water-reminder).
• Use standard 5-field cron expressions: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week.
• Common cron patterns: */5 * * * * (every 5 min), 0 9 * * * (daily 9am), 0 9 * * 1-5 (weekdays 9am), 0 */2 * * * (every 2 hours), 0 8,20 * * * (8am and 8pm), 0 9 15 7 * (July 15 at 9am).
• IMPORTANT: Provide cron expressions and nextRunIso in the USER'S LOCAL TIMEZONE. The system converts to UTC automatically. Always pass the timezone parameter with the user's IANA timezone.
• For one-shot reminders: compute nextRunIso in the user's local timezone. The system converts to UTC.
• For a specific date each year (e.g., birthday), use a recurring cron with the day-of-month and month fields.
• Use maxRuns to limit how many times a recurring schedule fires. Omit for unlimited.
• The schedule_list and schedule_get tools return scheduleDescription (e.g., "Daily at 9:00 AM") when timezone is provided. Use this for display.
• Always list the schedule first before updating or deleting.
