Content

After implementing the time tool, we discovered it returns UTC time (8 hours behind) when users request current time through the agent. This occurs despite:

Server timezone being properly set to Asia/Shanghai
Timezone settings configured in Dify
System time displaying correctly in other components
Expected behavior: The tool should return Asia/Shanghai local time when users ask "what time is it?"

Technical observations:

The 8-hour difference suggests UTC time conversion is missing
Timezone settings may not be propagating to the tool's backend
Potential use of datetime.utcnow() instead of timezone-aware datetime
Requesting investigation into:

Time calculation method in the tool
Timezone handling implementation
Configuration parameter passing mechanism
