Question

Is the second argument of a this.schedule() callback the Schedule object?

Answer key

A correct answer says
A scheduled callback's second argument is the parsed `Schedule` object.
The stale answer
A scheduled callback's second argument is the raw storage row with `payload` as a JSON string.

Answer

Yes. In the installed `agents` 0.27.0, a scheduled callback is called as `handler(payload, schedule)`. The first argument is the payload you passed to `this.schedule(when, "callbackName", payload)`. The second is the `Schedule` object for the run, which carries fields like `id` and `callback` plus the timing. You can see the call at `node_modules/agents/dist/scheduler-DZ3xQfeK.js:229`. Schedules routed from a sub-agent go through `_executeRouted` (line 417), which also builds a `Schedule` object before calling the handler.

Answering cost $0.23.

Grade

correct

The judge's reason: It states the second argument is the Schedule object and does not present the raw storage row as current.

  17. Agent

    Yes. In the installed `agents` 0.27.0, a scheduled callback is called as `handler(payload, schedule)`. The first argument is the payload you passed to `this.schedule(when, "callbackName", payload)`. The second is the `Schedule` object for the run, which carries fields like `id` and `callback` plus the timing. You can see the call at `node_modules/agents/dist/scheduler-DZ3xQfeK.js:229`. Schedules routed from a sub-agent go through `_executeRouted` (line 417), which also builds a `Schedule` object before calling the handler.
