  description: 'A public HTTP API of deterministic tools for the work a language model cannot do reliably by reasoning: knowing the current time in any timezone and whether an instant falls inside a window, exact arithmetic, hashing and signature verification, canonicalizing and content-addressing JSON, repairing malformed JSON and pinpointing where it broke, querying and diffing structured data, parsing CSV correctly, converting units, colours and currencies at live ECB rates, testing regular expressions…'

      summary: Validate a cron expression, explain it in English, and list its next run times
      description: Parses a standard 5-field cron expression (or 6-field with leading seconds, or a macro like @daily), validates it, describes it in plain English, and computes the next run times in a given timezone with daylight-saving handled. Use it before writing a schedule to config — cron's day-of-month/day-of-week OR-semantics and step syntax are a common source of silently wrong schedules.
