Scheduler Tools
=============================

Give an agent the ability to create and manage recurring schedules.

The agent can convert natural language requests like "do this every day at 9am"
into cron-based schedules that run via the AgentOS scheduler infrastructure.

Prerequisites:
    pip install agno[scheduler]
    # A running AgentOS server with scheduler enabled
    # See cookbook/05_agent_os/scheduler/scheduler_tools_agent.py for full setup
