"""Basic scheduled agent run.

Starts an AgentOS with the scheduler enabled. After the server is running,
use the REST API to create a schedule that triggers an agent every 5 minutes.

Prerequisites:
    pip install agno[scheduler]
    # Start postgres: ./cookbook/scripts/run_pgvector.sh

Usage:
    python cookbook/05_agent_os/scheduler/basic_schedule.py

Then, in another terminal, create a schedule:
    curl -X POST http://localhost:7777/schedules \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d '{
            "name": "greeting-every-5m",
            "cron_expr": "*/5 * * * *",
            "endpoint": "/agents/greeter/runs",
            "payload": {"message": "Say hello!"}
        }'
