read_output
Read new output from a running command without sending input. Use it to poll long-running processes after the initial execution returns a partial status.
Instructions
Read new output from a running command without sending any input.
Use this after execute returns status "partial" when the command needs no interaction
(e.g. long-running build, training loop, find).
Returns the same format as execute/respond.
Args:
- pause_timeout: seconds of OUTPUT SILENCE before returning (default 9.0).
This is the dial that controls how long a silent-poll call waits.
Raise it (e.g. 30, 60) when polling a very quiet job; raising
total_timeout instead does nothing while the process stays silent.
- total_timeout: hard cap on call duration (default 20.0). Only binds
while output is actively streaming.Input Schema
