# Schedule a dormant task for later on your own ticket

> Plan work for later on the ticket you are currently working: creates a dormant task that wakes on the given date, instead of writing "I will check back on Monday" in a comment and forgetting. System agent transport only — refused for a human MCP token or a REST API key. You may only schedule on the ticket you are the agent of. The description is read in full when the task wakes — there is no separate prompt field, write what to do, not just a title. To create a task that should run now instead of later, use createTask.

      description: >-
        Plan work for later on the ticket you are currently working: creates a
        dormant task that wakes on the given date, instead of writing "I will
        check back on Monday" in a comment and forgetting. System agent
        transport only — refused for a human MCP token or a REST API key. You
        may only schedule on the ticket you are the agent of. The description is
        read in full when the task wakes — there is no separate prompt field,
        write what to do, not just a title. To create a task that should run now
        instead of later, use createTask.
