## What it does
Agents can't sleep, wait, or run on a schedule. AgentCron gives them time:
- ⏰ **Remind later** — "Notify me in 2 hours to review the PR."
- 🔁 **Recurring** — "Email me a summary every weekday at 9am."
- 🪝 **Delayed webhook** — "POST this URL in 30 minutes to resume the workflow."
- 🔍 **Poll** — "Every 10 minutes, hit the status webhook."
A scheduled task either **notifies you** (email / Slack / Discord / webhook) or **POSTs to a webhook** at the chosen time. One-off or recurring.
> 🔒 **Read-only by design.** AgentCron only runs the tasks your agent schedules. No access to your inbox, files, or accounts.

## Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `schedule_task` | Schedule a `notify` or `webhook` task. Timing: `in_seconds` or `run_at` (ISO 8601 UTC); add `repeat_every_seconds` to recur. |
| `list_tasks` | List pending and recent tasks. |
| `cancel_task` | Cancel a pending task by id. |
## Pricing
- **Free** — 5 active tasks, runs as often as every 5 min, 1,000 runs/month.
- **Pro** — $9/mo or $90/yr — 200 tasks, 60s min interval, 100,000 runs/month.
Timing is best-effort on a 1-minute tick (no sub-minute scheduling).
## Self-hosting
Cloudflare Workers + D1 + Hono. The scheduler uses a [Cron Trigger](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/cron-triggers/) (every minute) — available on the **free** Workers plan.
