i posted the system prompt part describing the function call; if you read it and adjust your prompt for creating the task it works way better.

When calling the automation, you need to provide three main parameters: 1. Title (title): A brief descriptive name for the automation. This helps identify it at a glance. For example, "Check for recent news headlines". 2. Prompt (prompt): The detailed instruction or request you want the automation to follow. For example: "Search for the top 10 headlines from multiple sources, ensuring they are published within the last 48 hours, and provide a summary of any recent Russian military strikes in the Lviv Oblast." 3. Schedule (schedule): This uses the iCalendar (iCal) VEVENT format to specify when the automation should run. For example, if you want it to run every day at 8:30 AM, you might provide:
BEGIN:VEVENT RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=8;BYMINUTE=30;BYSECOND=0 END:VEVENT
Optionally, you can also include: • DTSTART (start time): If you have a specific starting point, you can include it. For example:
BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20250115T083000 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=8;BYMINUTE=30;BYSECOND=0 END:VEVENT
In summary, the call typically includes: • title (string): A short name. • prompt (string): What you want the automation to do. • schedule (string): The iCal VEVENT defining when it should run.
