Wait

Wait

Active

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

1 tool

Pause for a set number of seconds, then continue. Lets an agent inject a real delay inline, for pacing a polling loop, retry backoff, or rate-limiting between calls, which a model cannot do on its own. For delayed actions or long waits, use the schedule namespace instead.
