Parse any cron expression into a human-readable explanation, validate its syntax
Parse any cron expression into a human-readable explanation, validate its syntax, compute the next 5 scheduled run times (UTC), and detect common patterns (daily, weekly, monthly, hourly) — accepts standard numeric fields plus JAN-DEC/SUN-SAT name tokens — so agents can understand, validate, and work with cron schedules without implementing their own cron parser.
