# Toolbelt402 Time Math

> Toolbelt402 Time Math is a paid API for AI agents from toolbelt402.tpoborne.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Performs date/time arithmetic: computes the difference between two datetimes, adds or subtracts ISO-8601 durations from a start time, or converts a timestamp to any IANA timezone with UTC offset and weekday.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability toolbelt402-time-math-f33eb8e0
```

Example prompt: How many days and hours are between 2024-03-15T09:00:00Z and 2024-11-28T17:30:00Z? Use the diff operation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need precise, server-side date/time arithmetic without relying on client-side libraries — especially for ISO-8601 duration math, timezone-aware conversions with correct UTC offsets and DST handling, or computing exact differences between two timestamps. Prefer it over general-purpose code execution when you want a lightweight, deterministic, single-call result for time operations.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'op' query parameter returns an error
- Invalid or missing 'from'/'to' for diff operation returns a validation error
- Malformed ISO-8601 duration string for add/subtract returns a parse error
- Unrecognized IANA timezone string for convert operation returns an error
- Missing 'time' or 'tz' parameter for convert operation returns an error

## How this service works

Date and time arithmetic done right: difference between two datetimes, add or subtract ISO-8601 durations, convert an instant into any IANA timezone with UTC offset and weekday.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the result of the requested time operation: for 'diff', the duration between two datetimes (days, hours, minutes, seconds); for 'add'/'subtract', the resulting datetime after applying the ISO-8601 duration; for 'convert', the input instant expressed in the target IANA timezone including UTC offset and weekday name.
