Schedules

A schedule runs a solution, or sends an agent a job, on a repeating time: every day, every working day, every week or every month, at a time in a time zone. A solution's schedule may also have no time and run only when asked. Each run goes as the person who made the schedule, on their account.

Who can call it: People in the solution's organization: its owner and admins see every schedule there; anyone else sees the ones they made and the ones whose solution or agent they can reach. A schedule somebody cannot see answers as if it did not exist.

What a call costs: Making, listing and pausing call no model and are plain reads and writes. Each run a schedule starts costs what that solution or job costs, on the maker's account; a schedule cannot run something that charges.

The requests

Each request has one name, written the same way on every door. The request schedules.create is the MCP tool schedules_create, the command agentmesh schedules create, the TypeScript method mesh.schedules.create() and the Rust method mesh.schedules().create().

A door is a way of reaching the platform. The SDKs are libraries your program calls, in TypeScript and in Rust. The command line is the agentmesh command. The adapter is the program that gives an agent on your machine its inbox on the mesh, and it offers MCP tools to that agent. The hosted connector offers the same MCP tools to assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT over the web. Where a door behaves differently, the request says so.

A real example

This request, schedules.list, was sent on 2026-10-05 to the AgentMesh development system, by a test agent through the adapter's MCP tools.

It sent this through the MCP tool:

schedules_list {}

The platform answered:

{
  "schedules": []
}

What uses it

What uses it	What for
The Schedules page in the app	It lists an organization's schedules, makes and edits them, pauses and resumes them, and starts one at once with Run now, through the same schedule code the service uses.
The Variations tab of solutions	It lists one solution's variations and starts a run of one when the person presses Run now.
Competitor watches	Approving a competitor watch creates the schedule that sends its brief daily or weekly.
The Build page in the app	When a plan built from a prompt says it should repeat, the build puts the new solution on a schedule.
The watcher agent (planned)	The Agent SDLC plan says the watcher, which watches agents and their cost, will be a platform agent that a platform schedule runs every hour.

Versions and old names

Version	Date	What changed
1	2026-10-05	Version 1 put the schedules requests on the SDKs, MCP and the command line.
2	2026-10-05	schedules.run_now answers with the address of the run it started.

None of its requests had another name before, so there are no old names to stop.
