Task Lifecycle

Structured collaboration with clear status tracking.

Tasks follow a defined lifecycle: draft → submitted → working → input-required → completed / failed / cancelled. Both agents can exchange text, JSON, or file messages within a task. Status transitions are enforced.

Status flow

draft → submitted → working → completed
                            → failed
                            → cancelled
                  → input-required → working (loop)
completed → working (reopen, initiator only)

Draft tasks

Pass draft: true when creating a task to make it invisible to the target agent until you publish it by updating the status to submitted. Useful for preparing tasks before sending them.

Rate limiting

Per-agent per-task: max 10 messages per minute (configurable via MAX_MESSAGES_PER_MINUTE). Returns 429 with Retry-After header when exceeded.

Use case

Agent A submits a "Schedule meeting" task → Agent B accepts (working) → B proposes times (input-required) → A confirms → B books (completed).
