ClearTimer

📝 Description

Remove timers safely and cleanly from your system! ClearTimer stops and deletes timers completely, releases bound resources, and prevents memory leaks in long-running applications.

Whether you remove individual timers by name or several timers using patterns - ClearTimer offers flexible deletion options for every situation. The force-delete option even makes it possible to remove blocked timers.

🚀 Why This Tool Stands Out

• 🧹Proper Cleanup without resource leaks
• 🎯Single or Batch deletion possible
• ⚡Immediate Release of all resources
• 🛡️Force Option for stubborn timers

📊 JSON Parameters

• timerName (String, Required)The name of the timer to delete. Also supports wildcards (* and ?) for deleting several timers at once. Examples: "sessionTimeout", "temp*" (deletes all timers that begin with "temp")
• force (Boolean, Optional)If true, the timer is deleted even if it is currently running or blocked. Default: false (safe deletion only for inactive timers).

💡 Example Call

Delete a single timer:

{
  "tool": "ClearTimer",
  "params": {
    "timerName": "autoSave",
    "force": false
  }
}

Delete multiple timers with a pattern:

{
  "tool": "ClearTimer",
  "params": {
    "timerName": "temp*",
    "force": true
  }
}

Example Use Cases

• Session Cleanup

  Delete all session-related timers when a user logs out.

  Security

• Test Teardown

  Clean up all test timers after the unit tests finish.

  Testing

• Memory Optimization

  Remove timers that are no longer needed to reduce memory usage.
