task_complete

Mark a claimed task as completed. Record a summary of accomplishments for the task's comment log and future agents.

Instructions

Mark your claimed task as completed. Only the claiming agent can complete it.

Call when the task's expected_outcome has been fully achieved. The body is recorded in the task's comment log and visible to all agents reviewing the task. If you cannot finish the task, use task_fail() instead; if you are stepping away mid-work, use task_unclaim() so another agent can pick it up.

Args: task_id: ID of a task you have claimed. body: Summary of what was accomplished, including follow-up IDs or links. Recommended — it is the only record future agents have of what was done.

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations indicate non-destructive and closed world; description adds that the body is recorded in the comment log and visible to all agents, plus that only the claiming agent can complete it, providing useful behavioral context beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured: core action, usage conditions, alternatives, then parameter explanations. Every sentence is purposeful and front-loaded with key information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (2 params, no nested objects) and presence of an output schema, the description covers all necessary aspects: purpose, usage conditions, parameter roles, and behavioral traits.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, but the description reinforces the importance of body as the only record for future agents, adding slight value beyond the schema definitions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states 'Mark your claimed task as completed' with a clear verb and resource, and explicitly mentions that only the claiming agent can complete it, distinguishing it from siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says 'Call when the task's expected_outcome has been fully achieved' and gives alternatives for failure or stepping away (task_fail, task_unclaim), providing clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
