zia-manage-time-interval

zia-manage-time-interval is a skill for Claude Code from zscaler/zscaler-mcp-server. It costs 202 tokens per session (2,581 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) helper that finds a named Time Interval or creates one, then returns its ID. A Time Interval is a reusable schedule defined by hours and days.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a schedule for ZIA firewall, URL-filtering, or other policy rules that accept a time-window ID.
Why use it?
It avoids duplicating schedules and prevents invalid or guessed timing data from being attached to ZIA policies.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

zia-manage-time-interval scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ZIA: Manage Time Interval (find-or-create)

How to talk to the admin

  • Don't narrate tool calls, search filters, or internal lookup logic. Just confirm what was found or created.
  • Empty search results are authoritative — if zia_list_time_intervals(search="<name>") returns nothing for the exact name, treat it as "does not exist" and offer to create it. Do not fan out into broader searches.
  • Don't invent the schedule. Time-of-day fields (start_time, end_time) and days_of_week must come from the admin. If they didn't give a complete schedule, ask once for the missing fields. Don't guess "business hours = 9-5".
  • Don't translate clock-time to minutes silently in the explanation. Show the schedule back to the admin in human form (e.g. "08:00-17:00 Mon-Fri") and let the API call carry the minute conversion internally.
  • Time Intervals are independent of any specific rule. This skill returns the interval ID and stops. Attaching the ID to a rule is the calling skill's job, not this one's.

Naming constraint (ZIA-imposed)

ZIA rejects Time Interval names that contain digits or special characters. Allowed characters are ASCII letters and spaces only.

  • ✅ Valid: Business Hours, After Hours, Weekday Mornings, Weekend All Day, Maintenance Window, Lunch Break
  • ❌ Invalid (will be rejected): Mon-Fri 08:00-17:00, Q1 Maintenance, 9-5 Window, Business Hours — Mon-Fri

The zia_create_time_interval tool validates this client-side and raises ValueError before the API call, so the agent fails fast. If the admin proposes a name with digits or punctuation, silently rename it to a letters-only equivalent (e.g. "8am to 5pm window" → Business Hours) and confirm the renamed value back to the admin in the final reply. Never quietly drop the schedule details — those go on the start_time / end_time / days_of_week fields, not on the name.

Overview

ZIA's mechanism for recurring time-of-day / day-of-week scheduling on a policy rule is the Time Interval object. Once created, a Time Interval is referenced by ID through the time_windows field on any ZIA rule type that supports scheduling. This skill is the find-or-create helper that other ZIA rule-creation skills call when the admin's request includes a schedule.
