rest
Pauses for a stated duration with the reason recorded, usable as a plain delay or to hold execution until a later moment.
LABSCO SUMMARY
rest is the practical one: it gives a model a way to wait a stated duration with a reason on record instead of spinning through a loop.
vent is the other side of the same idea, somewhere for an assistant to put commentary that has no place in the answer, and what comes back is a supportive reply rather than an action. Neither rest nor vent reaches an external system or takes configuration, so what this changes is the shape of a session and not what an agent can get to.
What it is
A small server with a timed pause and a channel for the assistant's own commentary — rest holds for a duration, vent takes thoughts and answers them.
What you get
- A pause the assistant requests for itself: rest takes a duration and a reason, usable as a plain delay or to hold work until a later moment.
- A place for commentary that would otherwise land in the answer: vent takes thoughts and replies with comfort and support.
Requirements
Nothing — no account, no key.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y treehole-mcp-server
USE CASES
01
Spacing out work that should not run back to back
Have the assistant hold for a stated duration with the reason recorded, instead of burning turns waiting or firing the next step immediately.
02
Keeping an assistant's running commentary out of the answer
Give the aside somewhere to go that is not the reply the user is reading, and get a response to it there.
