time_now

Gate: ungated · no kind, zero authority

What time is it. Ungated and belonging to no kind: a sandboxed guest has no wall clock of its own, and the host's time reveals nothing sensitive — yet almost every agent needs it. Zero authority, so nothing to decide.

Input

None.

Output

Everything about now in one object, so nothing has to be recomputed:

{ "unix": 1784822400, "iso": "2026-07-25T21:00:00+02:00", "utc": "2026-07-25T19:00:00Z",
  "timezone": "CEST", "offset_seconds": 7200 }

From JavaScript

wrapper (idiomatic)

const t = nocturn.now();
console.log(t.iso);

nocturn.call

const t = JSON.parse(nocturn.call("time_now", {}));

Notes

Use the iso field when you need to hand an absolute timestamp to remind — it is already RFC3339 in the host's local zone.
