Date And Time Calculator

Date and Time Calculator: Date/time calculations: add/subtract days, business days, time until/since, timezone conversion, week. Use when an agent needs date and time calculator, date calculator and timestamp tool set, building countdown timers for events or deadlines, calculating project durations in business days excluding weekends, scheduling meetings across multiple timezones, converting api timestamps to human readable formats, add days, date through AgentPMT-hosted remote tool calls.

What This Tool Does

Time Tools is a date and time utility providing 18 operations across two categories: time calculations and format conversions. Time calculation operations handle date arithmetic and temporal analysis. These include calculating time remaining until a future date, calculating time elapsed since a past date, adding or subtracting days from a date, counting total days between two dates, counting business days (weekdays only) between two dates, converting datetimes between timezones, retrieving UTC offset for any timezone, formatting duration in seconds to human-readable text, parsing human-readable duration strings (such as "2h 30m") into seconds, getting ISO week number for a date, determining fiscal quarter (1–4), checking leap year status, checking if two time periods overlap, and converting Unix timestamps to ISO format. Conversion operations handle format transformations between Unix timestamps, formatted date strings, and human-readable durations. Unix timestamps can be converted to formatted dates with optional timezone specification, date strings can be converted to Unix timestamps using configurable format patterns, and raw seconds can be converted to compact human-readable format (such as "1d 2h 30m 15s"). Date parsing is flexible and accepts multiple input formats. All timezone operations use the pytz library and support standard timezone names.

Common Workflows

Project deadline countdown: Use time-until with the deadline date to show remaining time, then business-days-between to count working days left.

Meeting scheduling across time zones: Use convert-timezone to align meeting times, then working-hours-overlap to confirm both parties are within work hours.

Date arithmetic for invoicing: Use add-days to compute due dates (e.g., Net 30), or subtract-days to find a billing period start.

Log timestamp conversion: Use unix-to-iso or unix-to-date to convert raw timestamps into readable dates, or date-to-unix to convert back.

Important Notes

• Dates accept ISO 8601 format or most common parseable formats (e.g., "March 10, 2026", "2026-03-10", "10/03/2026").
• Timezone names use the IANA database (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "Asia/Tokyo", "UTC").
• business-days-between counts weekdays only (Monday through Friday) and does not account for public holidays.
• format-duration produces verbose output ("2 days, 3 hours") while seconds-to-human produces compact output ("2d 3h").
• parse-duration supports flexible input: "2h 30m", "5 days 3 hours", "90s", etc.
