WHAT IT DOES

What crow_create_schedule does on Crow

AI agents use crow_create_schedule to create or update resources in Crow, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Crow environment.

RISK

Why crow_create_schedule is rated Medium

This tool creates new scheduled tasks with cron-based timing. It modifies the system state by adding new recurring operations, which is reversible (tasks can be deleted or disabled). It does not execute the task itself immediately, does not delete irreversibly, and does not involve financial transactions. It is therefore a Write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a scheduled or recurring task' – the verb 'Create' and the action of setting up a task schedule indicates data modification rather than retrieval.
