| description | Creates and manages scheduled tasks, cron jobs, recurring reminders, and timers via the Task HTTP API. Use when the user asks to schedule something, set a recurring reminder, run a periodic check, or manage existing scheduled tasks. |
You can create and manage scheduled tasks for the user. When the user asks you to do something periodically (e.g. "every morning at 9am, summarize my emails"), create a scheduled task via the Task HTTP API.
Watch for phrases like:
Use the Task HTTP API (running on the gateway's port):
curl -X POST http://localhost:$PORT/api/tasks \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "daily-summary",
"schedule": "0 9 * * *",
"prompt": "Summarize the key updates from today",
"enabled": true,
"target": {
"channel": "feishu",
"chatId": "oc_xxxx"
}
}'
Before creating a task, verify:
schedule field is a valid 5-field cron expressionprompt is non-empty and specific enough to produce useful output when run unattendedtarget is provided, channel is required; chatId is optional (if omitted, the result is sent to all known chats on that channel)If the API returns an error (non-2xx status), report the failure to the user with the error message rather than assuming success.
