NAME
cron-pack — parses, explains, and forecasts a cron expression in one call
SYNOPSIS
POST https://x402.agentutility.ai/cron-pack
Content-Type: application/json
X-PAYMENT: <signed-transferWithAuthorization>
{ ... }↳ first call →
402 Payment Required. Sign USDCtransferWithAuthorization, retry with theX-PAYMENT header.DESCRIPTION
Parses, explains, and forecasts a cron expression in one call. Composite: one call runs cron-parse + cron-explain + cron-next in parallel over the same 5/6/7-field cron expression or @daily/@hourly/@weekly/@monthly/@yearly macro. Returns validation + frequency bucket, a plain-English explanation, and the next N firing times as ISO 8601 + epoch seconds + human-readable strings in your timezone, with regular-cadence detection. Includes composed_of + per-component telemetry; partial failure degrades instead of failing. Use it as a crontab validator, plain-English schedule explainer, or 'when does this cron run' forecast.
