dsh-rest-time

In multi-phase agent workflows, a sensible rest buffer between task groups is often a key lever for scheduling quality, yet hand-estimating that duration is imprecise and brittle whenever parameters shift. dsh-rest-time collapses this into a single structured tool call so the workflow engine can compute inter-group rest time deterministically rather than relying on a hard-coded guess or a vague prompt instruction.

The core capability is tightly scoped: the rest_time tool accepts calculation parameters and returns a detailed result for the inter-group rest duration. The entire implementation is pure Node.js with zero network dependencies, which means it runs safely inside offline sandboxes, local CI pipelines, or intranet agent chains without being blocked by external request latency or network policy.

It is well-suited for developers who orchestrate multiple agent task groups and need precise, repeatable control over the interval between them, particularly teams that want to promote rest-time calculation out of prompt instructions and into a deterministic, reusable tool call. The plugin is tiny, dependency-free, and released under the MIT license, making it trivial to drop into any existing stack.
