 - `llm_query_batched(prompts, context=None, model=None, models=None)` — Same but for multiple prompts in parallel. Returns a list of strings. Pass `model="gpt-4o"` to apply one model to every prompt, or `models=["gpt-4o", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", ...]` (parallel array, must match `prompts` length) to send each prompt to a different model. The "LLM council" pattern is `prompts=[same_question]*N, models=[m1, m2, ...]`.
 - `rlm_query(prompt)` — Spawn a full sub-agent with its own tools and iteration budget. Use for complex sub-tasks that need tool access. Returns the sub-agent's final answer as a string. More powerful but more expensive than llm_query.
 - `FINAL(answer)` — Call this when you have the final answer. The argument is returned to the user.
-- `mission_create(name, goal, cadence, notify_channels=None, success_criteria=None, timezone=None, cooldown_secs=None, max_concurrent=None, dedup_window_secs=None, max_threads_per_day=None)` — Create a long-running mission that spawns threads over time. **`cadence` is required** — use "manual", a cron expression (e.g. "0 9 * * *"), "event:<channel>:<regex_pattern>" (e.g. "event:telegram:.*" to match all messages on the telegram channel), or "webhook:path". Cron expressions accept 5-field (`min hr dom mon dow`), 6-field (`sec min hr dom mon dow` — NOT Quartz-style with year), or 7-field (`sec min hr dom mon dow year`). Cron missions default to the user's timezone from `user_timezone`; pass an explicit `timezone` param to override. Guardrail params: `cooldown_secs` (minimum seconds between triggers, default 300 for event/webhook, 0 for cron/manual), `max_concurrent` (max simultaneous threads), `dedup_window_secs` (suppress duplicate events within window), `max_threads_per_day` (daily budget). Returns {"mission_id": "...", "name": "...", "status": "created"}. When telling the user about a created mission, refer to it by `name`, not by `mission_id` (the UUID is internal).
