time-based-actions

To route reminders and schedules without misfires, apply decision guidance that selects between reminder_create, schedule_create, assistant notifications send, and task_list_add based on whether the request needs one-time timing, recurrence, immediate notification, or no time trigger.

Compute ISO timestamps for relative time expressions by using the injected current_time clock source, applying timezone-grounding rules, and confirming the timezone before calculating the target time for your scheduling tool.

Immediate right now alerts become future notifications when incorrectly routed to reminder_create or schedule_create instead of assistant notifications send, which is the immediate-only tool for alerts.

You cannot use task_list_add for time-triggered reminders and notifications because task_list_add has no time trigger, meaning it only adds items to a non-timed task list without scheduling capabilities.

Set up recurring automation patterns for weekday task management by creating a schedule_create request with the correct mode, ensuring the injected current_time data and timezone constraints are properly applied to avoid misfires.
