timezones

Normalize a timezone reference to an IANA name + current offset

Accepts IANA strings ('America/New_York'), abbreviations ('EST', 'CST'), friendly labels ('Eastern Time', 'Tokyo'), or offsets ('GMT-5', '+05:30'). Returns canonical IANA name, current UTC offset (DST-aware), and is_dst_now flag. An ambiguous abbreviation with no resolving country_hint picks a default with is_ambiguous=True at confidence 0.5 (the pick is a guess); a hint that resolves it restores 1.0 — use /abbreviation-resolve for strict handling.

Query parameters

include_receiptboolean

Set true to attach an execution receipt at meta.receipt — caller-verifiable sha256 hashes over the RFC 8785 (JCS) canonicalization of this call's as-received JSON body and its result (free, like include_trace). Reproduce with any JCS library: input_hash = sha256(jcs({"tool": <request path>, "args": <your body minus include_trace/include_receipt>})); result_hash = sha256(jcs(result)). For deterministic tools, same input on the same build reproduces result_hash.
