Wait

Free

An agent can't actually pause between calls; this injects a real delay for polling, backoff, or rate-limiting.

Developer Tools

Pauses execution for a specified number of seconds (up to 30) before returning. Useful for rate-limiting, polling loops, or adding a deliberate delay between steps.

Use when

You need a real inline delay for pacing a polling loop, retry backoff, or rate-limiting.

Not for

Firing an action later without blocking, or waits longer than 30 seconds (use schedule).

What you can do

•Wait for a number of seconds (up to 30), then return how long it actually waited.

What you get back
