Beta
BetaServer tools are currently in beta. The API and behavior may change.
The openrouter:datetime server tool gives any model access to the current date and time. This is useful for prompts that require temporal awareness — scheduling, time-sensitive questions, or any task where the model needs to know “right now.”

​
Quick Start

​
Configuration

The datetime tool accepts an optional timezone parameter: 
{
  "type": "openrouter:datetime",
  "parameters": {
    "timezone": "America/New_York"
  }
}
ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
timezonestringUTCIANA timezone name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "Asia/Tokyo")

​
Response

When the model calls the datetime tool, it receives a response like: 
{
  "datetime": "2025-07-15T14:30:00.000-04:00",
  "timezone": "America/New_York"
}

​
Pricing

The datetime tool has no additional cost beyond standard token usage.
