Validation checks whether it follows a syntax or schema. Conversion maps it into another representation. Choosing the right operation helps avoid treating a neatly formatted result as proof that the underlying data is correct.\nCommon questions\nDoes valid JSON mean the data is correct?\nSyntax validation only establishes that the text can be parsed as JSON. A schema can check required fields and types, but neither proves that an email address, price or external record is factually correct.\nIs decoding the same as decrypting or verifying?\nNo. Base64 and URL encoding are representations, not encryption. Reading a token payload does not verify its signature. Use the specific validation or verification process required by the system receiving the result.\nContinue your workflow:\nJSON schema validator\n,\nJsonpath tester\n,\nYAML formatter\n.",

Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.\n\n### Browser-agent workflow\n\n1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.\n2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.\n3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.\n4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.\n5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.\n\nCalls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.\n\n### Planning specification\n\nCron dialect and time-zone selection; show next runs and daylight-saving ambiguity.\n\nThis describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.\n\n### Complete machine-readable capability record\n\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"cron-parser\",\n  \"category\": \"developer-tools\",\n  \"built\": true,\n  \"requirements\": \"Cron dialect and time-zone selection; show next runs and daylight-saving ambiguity.\",\n  \"implementation\": {\n    \"fields\": [\n      {\n        \"key\": \"zone\",\n        \"label\": \"IANA time zone\",\n        \"value\": \"UTC\",\n        \"type\": \"text\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"key\": \"start\",\n        \"label\": \"Start ISO date (blank = now)\",\n        \"value\": \"\",\n        \"type\": \"text\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"key\": \"n\",\n        \"label\": \"Next occurrences\",\n        \"value\": 10,\n        \"type\": \"number\"\n      }\n    ],\n    \"experience\": {\n      \"automatic\": false,\n      \"single\": true,\n      \"label\": \"Cron expression\",\n      \"placeholder\": \"0 9 * * 1\",\n      \"help\": \"Enter a cron expression and choose the time zone below.

Review the settings, then choose Run Cron parser.\n3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.\n\n## Working with cron parser\n\nFormatting makes existing data or code easier to read. Validation checks whether it follows a syntax or schema. Conversion maps it into another representation. Choosing the right operation helps avoid treating a neatly formatted result as proof that the underlying data is correct.\n\n## Common questions\n\n### Does valid JSON mean the data is correct?\n\nSyntax validation only establishes that the text can be parsed as JSON. A schema can check required fields and types, but neither proves that an email address, price or external record is factually correct.\n\n### Is decoding the same as decrypting or verifying?\n\nNo. Base64 and URL encoding are representations, not encryption. Reading a token payload does not verify its signature. Use the specific validation or verification process required by the system receiving the result.\n\nContinue your workflow: [JSON schema validator](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/json-schema-validator/), [Jsonpath tester](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/jsonpath-tester/), [YAML formatter](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/yaml-formatter/).\n"
