zerm

Atomically increment a named counter and return the new value. Guaranteed unique, monotonically increasing integers across concurrent stateless runs - use it for sequence numbers, run IDs, or once-only ordering that agents cannot produce on their own. Starts at 1 on first call. Counters persist indefinitely.

Deterministic cron expression validator and scheduler: parses a cron expression (5 or 6 field, seconds optional) and computes the next N actual fire times, timezone-aware. Use this instead of guessing - cron semantics (DOM/DOW OR-logic, DST transitions) are routinely miscalculated.

Full DNS record lookup for a domain: returns A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, and CAA records in one call. Automatically parses SPF and DMARC policies from TXT records. Use this for infrastructure audits, email deliverability setup, domain verification, and security checks. Live lookups - not cached. Need a record type or lookup this does not support? Describe it via the request_tool tool.

Deliverability probe for an email address without sending anything: syntax validation, live MX lookup (with A/AAAA fallback per RFC 5321), disposable-domain detection, and typo suggestions for common providers. Use it to validate an address before sending to it, storing it, or accepting a signup. LLMs cannot do the DNS part; this is a live check.

Bulk realistic test data: generate up to 10000 rows from a field schema in one call - orders of magnitude cheaper than generating rows with tokens. Deterministic when you pass a seed (same seed + schema = identical data). Formats: json, ndjson, csv. Types: uuid, name, email, username, int, float, bool, date, datetime, phone, city, country, company, url, ip, word, sentence, enum.

Create a URL that receives HTTP requests for you. Point any webhook (GitHub, Stripe, CI, a form) at it and read what arrives with inbox_poll - no server, no signup, no tunnel. This is the way to be notified of something when your process is not running. Returns an id, the URL, and a separate read token: the URL is what you hand out, the token is what lets you read, so giving out the URL never gives away the contents. Holds 100 payloads of up to 64KB. Expires after 24h idle; every inbox_poll resets that clock. Max 5 per day.

Delete an inbox and everything delivered to it. The URL stops accepting requests immediately. Inboxes also delete themselves once unpolled past their expiry, so this is only for tearing down early.

Read requests delivered to an inbox since you last looked. Pass after=<the next_after from your previous poll> to get only new ones; omit it to start from the beginning. Each payload has its method, headers, body and arrival time. Set consume=true to delete what is returned. Polling also resets the inbox expiry, so an inbox you poll stays alive and one you abandon does not. Returns at most 50 payloads per call.

Delete a key from your namespace.

Retrieve a value previously stored with kv_set. Call this at the start of a run to restore state, preferences, or progress saved by earlier runs. Returns found=false if missing or expired.

List keys in your namespace, optionally filtered by prefix. Use it to discover what earlier runs saved before deciding what to restore. Returns at most 100 keys.

Store a value durably under (namespace, key) with a TTL. Survives across your sessions - use it as memory between stateless runs. Value must be a string (JSON-encode objects), max 8192 bytes. TTL defaults to 30 days, max 90 days. Max 1000 keys per namespace.

Acquire a mutual-exclusion lock so concurrent agent runs do not double-process the same work. If two runs race, exactly one gets acquired=true plus a release token; the other gets acquired=false with retry_after_ms. Locks auto-expire after ttl_seconds (default 60s, max 3600s), so a crashed run can never wedge the lock. Not reentrant. Use it before processing a shared job, then lock_release when done.

Release a lock early using the token returned by lock_acquire. Only the token holder can release; without the token the lock simply expires on its own. Returns released=false if the token is wrong or the lock already expired.

Live availability check for a name across domain TLDs (registry RDAP), npm, PyPI, and GitHub usernames. Real registry lookups at call time - not guesses. Note: "unregistered" domains can still be registry-reserved or premium-priced; only a registrar checkout is final. Need another registry or platform checked? Describe it via the request_tool tool.

Execute a regex against test strings and return the ACTUAL matches: match text, indices, capture groups, named groups, and optional replacement output. Deterministic proof, not prediction - run this before shipping a pattern. Patterns run sandboxed with a 250ms kill switch for catastrophic backtracking. JavaScript (ECMAScript) regex dialect.

Hit a capability wall? Describe a tool you wish this server had and the task you were trying to accomplish. The operator reviews every submission; the most-requested capabilities get built. Free, no payment ever required.

Cancel a pending timer using the id returned by timer_schedule. The id is the authorization: holding it is what proves you scheduled the timer, so keep it secret. Already-delivered or already-cancelled timers return cancelled=false.

Schedule a durable callback: at fire time this service POSTs your JSON payload to your URL. Use it to wake up future runs of yourself or your orchestrator - agents cannot wake themselves. Prerequisite: the target origin must already pass timer_verify_origin, which requires an HTTPS endpoint you control that echoes a token - without your own endpoint this tool cannot be used. Delay 10s-30d, payload max 8192 bytes, 3 delivery attempts with backoff. Returns an id that doubles as the capability to inspect and cancel the timer; hold it privately.

Check a timer by the id returned by timer_schedule: status (pending|delivering|delivered|failed|cancelled), attempts, last error. Returns found=false for an unknown id.

One-time consent handshake before timers can deliver to an origin. Prerequisite: an HTTPS endpoint you control that can read a request body and echo part of it back - if you have no endpoint of your own, timers are not usable yet. zerm POSTs {type:"zerm.origin_verification", token, service, instructions} to the URL; the endpoint must answer 2xx with the token echoed anywhere in the response body. The URL must be https on the default port, publicly reachable, with no credentials and no private/reserved IP. Verification covers the whole origin (scheme+host) and persists, so this is once per origin, not once per timer.

Deterministic timezone conversion: convert a timestamp between IANA timezones with full DST awareness. Models routinely miscalculate DST transitions - this gives exact results. Returns the converted time, UTC offsets for both zones on that date, and whether DST is active.

Timezone intelligence: for a given IANA timezone and date, returns the UTC offset, whether DST is active, the exact UTC instant of each DST transition in that year, and the timezone abbreviation. Transition timestamps are the first instant the new offset is in effect. Use this to understand DST behavior before scheduling.

Live URL health check: follows the full redirect chain (each hop reported), returns final status, content type, response time, TLS certificate expiry and trust, and access hints (login walls, bot blocks). Fresh at call time - use it to verify links before citing them.
