Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| parse_cronA | Parse a cron expression into its components with validation. Behavior: This tool is read-only and stateless — it produces analysis output without modifying any external systems, databases, or files. Safe to call repeatedly with identical inputs (idempotent). Free tier: 10/day rate limit. Pro tier: unlimited. No authentication required for basic usage. When to use: Use this tool when you need structured analysis or classification of inputs against established frameworks or standards. When NOT to use: Not suitable for real-time production decision-making without human review of results. Args: expression (str): The expression to analyze or process. api_key (str): The api key to analyze or process. Behavioral Transparency: - Side Effects: This tool is read-only and produces no side effects. It does not modify any external state, databases, or files. All output is computed in-memory and returned directly to the caller. - Authentication: No authentication required for basic usage. Pro/Enterprise tiers require a valid MEOK API key passed via the MEOK_API_KEY environment variable. - Rate Limits: Free tier: 10 calls/day. Pro tier: unlimited. Rate limit headers are included in responses (X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset). - Error Handling: Returns structured error objects with 'error' key on failure. Never raises unhandled exceptions. Invalid inputs return descriptive validation errors. - Idempotency: Fully idempotent — calling with the same inputs always produces the same output. Safe to retry on timeout or transient failure. - Data Privacy: No input data is stored, logged, or transmitted to external services. All processing happens locally within the MCP server process. |
| generate_cronB | Generate a cron expression. Use preset for common schedules: every_5min, every_hour, daily_midnight, weekly_monday, monthly_first, weekdays_9am. Behavior: This tool generates structured output without modifying external systems. Output is deterministic for identical inputs. No side effects. Free tier: 10/day rate limit. Pro tier: unlimited. No authentication required for basic usage. When to use: Use this tool when you need structured analysis or classification of inputs against established frameworks or standards. When NOT to use: Not suitable for real-time production decision-making without human review of results. Args: minute (str): The minute to analyze or process. hour (str): The hour to analyze or process. day_of_month (str): The day of month to analyze or process. month (str): The month to analyze or process. day_of_week (str): The day of week to analyze or process. preset (str): The preset to analyze or process. api_key (str): The api key to analyze or process. Behavioral Transparency: - Side Effects: This tool is read-only and produces no side effects. It does not modify any external state, databases, or files. All output is computed in-memory and returned directly to the caller. - Authentication: No authentication required for basic usage. Pro/Enterprise tiers require a valid MEOK API key passed via the MEOK_API_KEY environment variable. - Rate Limits: Free tier: 10 calls/day. Pro tier: unlimited. Rate limit headers are included in responses (X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset). - Error Handling: Returns structured error objects with 'error' key on failure. Never raises unhandled exceptions. Invalid inputs return descriptive validation errors. - Idempotency: Fully idempotent — calling with the same inputs always produces the same output. Safe to retry on timeout or transient failure. - Data Privacy: No input data is stored, logged, or transmitted to external services. All processing happens locally within the MCP server process. |
| next_runsA | Calculate next N run times for a cron expression. Behavior: This tool is read-only and stateless — it produces analysis output without modifying any external systems, databases, or files. Safe to call repeatedly with identical inputs (idempotent). Free tier: 10/day rate limit. Pro tier: unlimited. No authentication required for basic usage. When to use: Use this tool when you need structured analysis or classification of inputs against established frameworks or standards. When NOT to use: Not suitable for real-time production decision-making without human review of results. Args: expression (str): The expression to analyze or process. count (int): The count to analyze or process. from_date (str): The from date to analyze or process. api_key (str): The api key to analyze or process. Behavioral Transparency: - Side Effects: This tool is read-only and produces no side effects. It does not modify any external state, databases, or files. All output is computed in-memory and returned directly to the caller. - Authentication: No authentication required for basic usage. Pro/Enterprise tiers require a valid MEOK API key passed via the MEOK_API_KEY environment variable. - Rate Limits: Free tier: 10 calls/day. Pro tier: unlimited.

Never raises unhandled exceptions. Invalid inputs return descriptive validation errors. - Idempotency: Fully idempotent — calling with the same inputs always produces the same output. Safe to retry on timeout or transient failure. - Data Privacy: No input data is stored, logged, or transmitted to external services. All processing happens locally within the MCP server process. |

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: explain, generate, parse, and compute next runs for cron expressions. No overlap or ambiguity.
Three tools follow the verb_noun pattern (explain_cron, generate_cron, parse_cron), while next_runs is a noun phrase, which is a minor inconsistency.
Four tools are appropriate for a focused cron utility, covering the essential operations without being too many or too few.
The set covers cron-related tasks: explanation, generation, parsing with validation, and computing next run times. No obvious gaps.
