SetTimer
TimerTools
Description
Create precise timers for any conceivable task! SetTimer lets you define and manage time-controlled events with millisecond precision.
Whether you need timeouts for network operations, delays for animations, or recurring intervals for background processes - with SetTimer you have full control over timing in your applications.
Why This Tool Stands Out
- Millisecond Precision for precise control
- One-Time or Repeating configurable
- Name-Based Identification simple & clear
- Immediate Activation without delay
Perfect for:
Developers who need to implement time-controlled sequences in their applications. Ideal for timeout handling, animations, polling mechanisms, scheduled tasks, and any scenario that requires precise timing.
Workflow support; time savings depend on the task
Instead of programming complex timer logic yourself, create reliable timers with a single API call. No more worrying about memory leaks or threading problems with custom timer implementations.
JSON Parameters
- timerName (String, Required)A unique name for the timer. This name is used to identify and manage the timer later. Examples: "sessionTimeout", "retryInterval"
- interval (Integer, Required)The time interval in milliseconds. Examples: 1000 = 1 second, 60000 = 1 minute, 3600000 = 1 hour
- repeat (Boolean, Optional)If true, the timer triggers repeatedly. If false (default), the timer runs only once.
- autoStart (Boolean, Optional)If true (default), the timer starts immediately. If false, the timer must be started manually.
Example Call
{
"tool": "SetTimer",
"params": {
"timerName": "autoSave",
"interval": 300000,
"repeat": true,
"autoStart": true
}
}Example Use Cases
Auto-Save
Create a repeating timer to automatically save documents.
ProductivityTimeout Handling
Define timeouts for network operations and API requests.
NetworkPolling
Set up repeating queries for real-time updates.
Real-time
Return Values
- timerId (String)
Unique ID of the created timer - timerName (String)
The assigned name of the timer - interval (Integer)
Interval duration in milliseconds - repeat (Boolean)
Whether the timer triggers repeatedly - status (String)
Status: "active", "paused", or "pending" - createdAt (String)
Creation timestamp (ISO 8601) - nextTrigger (String)
Next trigger time (ISO 8601) - success (Boolean)
True if the timer was created successfully
