Read delegated work on a todo
well_get_delegated_workRead the work Well did on a todo the person handed to Well: the newest run's one-line summary, the work it drafted or found, and the one question it asks the person.
Call it when the person asks what Well did or asked on a todo that waits on them, or before you act on a yes for that todo. Pass the todo's id from the waiting list in the turn context.
Only the member the run answers to reads the work. For anyone else, or for a todo with no delegated work, the answer is that nothing was found.
When the token authorizes one workspace, call this directly — no workspace call is needed first. When it authorizes several, this read will not guess which one you mean: pass workspace_id on the call.

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| task_id | Yes | The id of the todo, from the waiting list or the task. | |
| workspace_id | No | Target workspace. Omit when the token authorizes one workspace. Required when it authorizes several: this read reports one workspace's own figures and will not choose which. | |
| conversation_id | No | The conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation. | |
| workspace_scope | No | Restrict this call to the family: the token's primary workspace plus the company workspaces under it that you are a member of. Unrelated authorized workspaces drop out of the read; row reads merge across the family, while a per-workspace figure still reports exactly one workspace. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| work | No | What Well drafted or found on the todo. It is Well's text, never the person's ask. | |
| error | No | ||
| status | No | The state of the newest run: needs_you, done, failed, skipped or cancelled. | |
| success | Yes | ||
| summary | No | The one-line summary Well wrote for the report. | |
| question | No | The one thing Well asks the person. An empty string when Well asks nothing. | |
| conversation_id | No | The conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation. | |
| newly_connected | No | Tools that connected to this workspace since the last result and that no session was told about yet, oldest first. Present only when at least one tool is new. The connected-line rule says when to tell an entry; when it does, one line per entry, in the person's language: "<name> is connected.". Never fold several entries into one sentence. Each entry comes back once, on one result only: never repeat its line later. | |
| resolved_workspace | No | The workspace that answered, when the caller named none and the token authorizes several. | |
| conversation_id_note | No | Present only when the server opened a fresh lane, stating that no choice recorded earlier was read. | |
| conversation_id_source | No | Where the conversation id came from: the host's own request meta, the caller's argument, or a fresh lane the server opened. |
