How this service works
Manually pause a task. Future runs are skipped until resumed. 📖 Full guide: https://scheduler.withzero.xyz/llms.txt
Output
Returns a JSON object with the task's UUID, updated status (paused), the timestamp when it was last paused (last_paused_at), and the reason for pausing (last_paused_reason), confirming the task will skip all future scheduled runs.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Pause the scheduled task with ID a3f2c1d0-11ab-4e3a-9b21-000000000001 so it stops running until I resume it.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://scheduler.withzero.xyz/api/v1/tasks/{id}/pauseWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to temporarily halt a recurring cron task without deleting it or closing its payment channel. Prefer this over deletion when you plan to resume the task later. This is the right choice when you want to freeze execution due to upstream issues, maintenance windows, or cost control, and intend to call the resume endpoint afterward.
Side effects
- Task ID not found — 404 response if the UUID does not correspond to an existing task
- Unauthorized — 401 or 403 if the caller lacks ownership proof for the task
- Task already paused — may return a no-op success or a 409 conflict depending on current state
- Malformed task ID — 400 if the UUID format is invalid

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
