wp-agentic-admin/cron-list not working #84

Description

@wpbullet

What should it do?

User: "wp-agentic-admin/cron-list"
Agent: "I had trouble understanding how to help. Could you rephrase your request?"

Thought process for list all cron jobs:

Okay, the user is asking to "list all cron jobs." Let me check the available tools. There's a tool called wp-agentic-admin/cron-list, which is meant to list all scheduled WordPress cron events. The user probably wants to know what cron jobs are running on their site.

First, I need to call that tool. The tool returns the cron events, including their next run time, schedule, and whether they're overdue. The previous response from the tool showed an example output with events like "wp_options" and "wp-signup". 

The user might be looking to troubleshoot cron jobs, check if any are overdue, or ensure they're running correctly. They might also want to know how to manage or adjust these cron jobs. 

I should make sure to call the tool correctly and present the results. If the tool returns data, I'll format it into a clear answer. If there's an error, I'll handle that, but based on the previous interaction, the tool seems to work. 

So, the next step is to invoke the wp-agentic-admin/cron-list tool and then present the results in a user-friendly manner.

    Does not work in the Abilities tab either, showed this output:

    {
      "error": "Ability \"wp-agentic-admin/cron-list\" has invalid input. Reason: input is not of type object."
    }

    Fixed in PR #102 — both "wp-agentic-admin/cron-list" and "list all cron jobs" now correctly route to the cron-list ability. Test cases added and passing.
