I'd like a service that allows me to write internet-connected scripts that can be scheduled or executed on demand via webhooks. I have a bunch of things I want to do (like monitor a site for example) without messing around with servers.

To take it even further these scripts can come with their own store (just a simple key-value will do the trick), exposed over an API with a private key.

You can probably do this with several different existing services. Parse.com Cloud Code (either express endpoints, or cloud functions) can definitely handle this.
Perhaps Yahoo Pipes? http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
