Cron schedules for AI agents
Give an agent a cron expression and a prompt. Every firing starts a fresh session with that input, in the timezone you name.
Copy the setup prompt.
Your agent does the rest.
Fetch and execute the appropriate instructions to set me up for superagnt_ from https://mcp.superagnt.com/agent-setup/prompt.md» once it is connected, run this so your agent can switch the source on itself.
agnt_tools_enable({ families: ['schedules'] })Everything your agent can do with it
agnt_schedules_create takes a cron expression, a timezone, and the input text the agent receives when it fires.
A schedule starts running as soon as it is created. Pass enabled false when you want to stage it before it goes live.
Each run is a fresh, billed agent session, so a run does not inherit yesterday state unless the agent wrote it down.
agnt_schedules_update changes the cron, timezone, input text or name, recomputes the next run time, and applies immediately.
Setting enabled false stops firing without losing the schedule. Delete is not reversible from this surface.
agnt_schedules_list shows the schedules on a deployed agent with their next run time.

A daily briefing that reads live data
Every weekday at 7am the agent pulls what changed overnight, writes the summary, and sends it where your team already looks.
Monitoring on a cadence
Every hour the agent checks a source, compares it against what it stored last run, and speaks up only when something crossed a threshold.
Recurring maintenance
A weekly run re-enriches stale records, retries what failed, and reports the rows it could not fix.
What it costs to run
Platform tools carry no per-tool price. What you pay is the AI and credit usage the work causes, on the same workspace balance every other tool draws from.
Each run is itemized, so you can see which agent spent what and on which call.
how credits work →Before you wire it up
01How do I turn schedule tools on?
The schedules family is elevated, so agnt_tools_enable refuses it. A person enables it on the dashboard MCP page, because a schedule commits the workspace to recurring billed runs.
02Does a new schedule start immediately?
Yes. It is live as soon as it is created unless you pass enabled false, and every firing is a real billed session.
03How do I pause one?
Update it with enabled false. Prefer that over delete, which is not reversible from this surface.
04What does the agent receive when it fires?
The input text set on the schedule, delivered as the first message of a fresh session.
Point your client at https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp and your agent has this, plus everything else on one balance.
