FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring cron jobs for my Right Agent?▼

To schedule recurring cron jobs for your Right Agent, you create cron specs stored in the agent database via MCP tools. You define the schedule, prompt, and delivery target Telegram chats.

Can I trigger a one-shot task with run_at instead of a recurring schedule?▼

Yes, you can trigger a one-shot task using the run_at field instead of a recurring schedule. This allows you to execute a single prompt at a specified time without manual triggering.

Do I need a Rust runtime to manage cron specs via MCP?▼

Yes, you need a Rust runtime to manage cron specs via MCP. The Rust runtime reconciles the specs stored in the agent database, while MCP tooling handles creation, updates, and deletion.

How do I deliver scheduled cron prompts to specific Telegram chats?▼

You deliver scheduled cron prompts to specific Telegram chats by setting delivery targets within the cron spec. The MCP tools manage these targets, allowing you to inspect run history and status across chats.

What are the limitations when using max_budget_usd and lock_ttl in cron schedules?▼

The max_budget_usd field limits the financial cost of a cron run, while lock_ttl manages the lock time-to-live to prevent overlapping executions. These fields ensure safe execution boundaries for your scheduled tasks.
