School Holidays & Term Dates: UK, Australia, Malaysia

Official school term dates, half terms and holidays for UK councils, Australian states and every Malaysian state, with a source link and last-verified date on every record.

This skill teaches your agent when and how to call the School Holidays & Term Dates tool on the MessNoMore Data Tools MCP server, with tight cost caps and answers that cite their source.

Ask your agent

• "List the 2027 school holidays for New South Wales as a table."
• "When is the October half term in East Sussex this year?"
• "Show Selangor's 2027 school calendar."

What the skill adds

• Picks the right mode and arguments for the question.
• Caps every run to the results the question needs and asks before any job over about $1.
• Handles runs that take longer than the client waits, without starting duplicates.
• Answers in tables with source links and last-verified dates, flags low-confidence matches and never fills gaps from memory.

Why not just ask your agent?

Models answer questions like these from training data that is months or years old, and they guess codes, dates and registry entries that look right. This skill makes the agent fetch the current record from the source instead, and say so when nothing matches.

Use cases

• Plan family travel around school holidays
• Schedule staff leave in schools and childcare
• Build a school calendar into an app
• Compare term dates across UK councils
• Time marketing campaigns to school breaks
