What it can do

Tool inventory

Tools (2)

🟢 Read-only🟡 Write🔴 Delete⚪ Unknown
🟡now(timezone)

Get the REAL current date and time. Call this at the start of a reply and before using any relative time words (yesterday, tomorrow, tonight, next week). Never guess time from context. NEVER write a clock time in your reply that did not come from this tool's output in THIS turn — a timestamp without a fresh call is a hallucination, even if it plausibly continues from an earlier one. ALWAYS pass the user's IANA timezone — this server is remote, so without it you get UTC, not the user's local time.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "timezone": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The user's IANA timezone, e.g. Europe/Warsaw. Omitting it returns UTC."
    }
  }
}
🟢since(timestamp)

How long ago (or from now) a given ISO-8601 timestamp is, in human form ('3h 42m ago'). Use to check whether an event was really 'yesterday'. Include the UTC offset in the timestamp.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "timestamp": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "ISO-8601, e.g. 2026-07-11T09:30:00+02:00"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "timestamp"
  ]
}
