# Timezone Tools

> Skill `timezone` on Faro. Free. 0 sub-skills.

Gets the current time in any timezone, converts times between timezones, and looks up timezone details like UTC offset and daylight saving status. Runs locally with no charge.

**Category:** Time  
**Tags:** timezone, time, utc, dst, clock, time-conversion  
**Use when:** You need the time in a specific timezone or an exact conversion between zones.  
**Not for:** Date arithmetic such as differences or shifts (use datetime).  
**Returns:** information

## How to run
Skills run through one gateway with your Faro token. Hand it an `intent` in plain language; Faro routes to the right sub-skill, runs it, and bills per call. Raw tools are internal plumbing and are not directly callable.

```
POST https://skill.askfaro.com/skills/timezone/run
Authorization: Bearer faro_<your_key>
Content-Type: application/json

{"intent":{"prompt":"What time is it right now in Tokyo?"}}
```

Or from the CLI:

```bash
pip install askfaro-cli && askfaro auth login
askfaro run timezone "What time is it right now in Tokyo?"
```
