# Agent Scheduled Tasks

1. Classify the job as reminder/heartbeat, auditable execution, or

consequential execution.

2. Resolve timezone, cadence, destination, stable scope, allowed tools,

evidence, retry budget, and stop conditions before creating it.

3. Use the actual scheduler interface once, then read back its stored contract.

4. Run now only when supported and record the scheduler plus downstream

evidence separately.

5. Never put credentials in the prompt, guess permissions, or treat schedule

creation as execution proof.

6. Treat a matching delivery prepare as the live preflight. Consume inline

verification first and use the advertised native operation fallback only

when recovery remains pending; a missing optional selector before mutation

does not disable read-only schedule evaluation.

7. For explicit Meta candidates, batch up to 50 exact IDs with

`overview_get_live_configs`; correlate only by `entity_type` and `entity_id`.

Read [scheduled-task-contract.md](scheduled-task-contract.md) only when

designing, creating, updating, debugging, pausing, deleting, or proving a

scheduled task.

+ [Data boundary](data-boundary.md) applies.
